AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED FOOTER
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BOISE ID
920 AM MDT SAT JUL 21 2012

.DISCUSSION...AN AREA OF MID LAYER MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO
STREAM ACROSS SW IDAHO TODAY. ISOLATED SHOWERS FROM EASTERN OWYHEE
COUNTY THROUGH THE MAGIC VALLEY WILL GROW INTO WIDELY SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS SOUTH AND EAST OF BOISE THROUGH THIS EVENING.
MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO STREAM ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL IDAHO
TONIGHT AND SUNDAY AND A LITTLE MORE LIFT IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE
AREA SUNDAY DUE TO AN H7 LOW CENTER SLOWLY DROPPING OVER THE
PACNW ON SUNDAY FROM THE SE GULF OF AK TODAY. THERMAL AXIS WILL
STILL EXPAND OVER THE ORE-IDA BORDER AHEAD OF THE H7 LOW FOR
TRIPLE DIGIT HIGHS IN BOISE SUNDAY. WENT AHEAD AND MADE CHANGES
THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON FOR BIT MORE CLOUDS THROUGH SUNDAY AND TO
ADD SHOWERS THIS MORNING AND THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY AFTERNOON FOR
THE MAGIC VALLEY.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL TODAY OVER ALL OF
SOUTHWESTERN IDAHO AND SOUTHEASTERN OREGON. HIGH BASED CUMULUS
CLOUDS WILL DEVELOP IN SOUTHERN IDAHO WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
POSSIBLE IN THE LATE AFTERNOON BETWEEN THE SNAKE RIVER AND THE
NEVADA BORDER. SFC WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE EXCEPT IN THE
VICINITY ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS AND VIRGA WHERE GUSTY WINDS CAN BE
EXPECTED. WINDS ALOFT WILL BE SOUTHWESTERLY AT 25 KTS.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY...TYPICAL MID SUMMER WEATHER
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA OVER THE NEXT TWO DAYS. ONLY ISOLATED
CONVECTION EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE HIGHLANDS SOUTH OF THE
SNAKE RIVER MAINLY ALONG THE NEVADA BORDER. WEAK INSTABILITY NOTED
HERE WITH DRY STABLE AIR ELSEWHERE. THE MONSOON SURGE RETURNS ON
SUNDAY...MOVING NORTHWARD FROM THE GREAT BASIN INTO SOUTHERN IDAHO.
THIS IS CONJUNCTION WITH A REBUILDING THERMAL TROUGH WILL PROVIDE
THE INGREDIENTS FOR AN INCREASE IN AFTERNOON CONVECTION. WE HAVE
EXPANDED THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS NORTHWARD
INTO THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AS WELL AS THE SNAKE RIVER PLAIN EAST OF
BOISE. TEMPERATURES WILL BE WITHIN A COUPLE DEGREES OF NORMAL TODAY
THEN RISE 5 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR SUNDAY. SEVERAL LOCATIONS
IN SOUTHWEST IDAHO ON SUNDAY WILL EXCEED THE CENTURY MARK FOR THE
8TH TIME THIS MONTH. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT FOR THE MOST PART BUT
INCREASE FROM THE WEST 15 TO 20 MPH IN SOUTHEAST OREGON SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. CONDITIONS WILL APPROACH  RED FLAG CRITERIA DUE TO A
COMBINATION OF SINGLE DIGIT RH AND GUSTY SURFACE WINDS.

LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY
BELOW NORMAL ON MONDAY AS A DRY COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE AREA
ASSOCIATED WITH THE PASSAGE OF AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TO
OUR NORTH. TEMPS WILL THEN BEGIN TO GRADUALLY INCREASE THROUGHOUT
THE WEEK AS 500MB HEIGHTS BUILD BACK IN OVER THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST.
BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON LOOK FOR TEMPERATURES TO BE NEAR 5 DEGREES
ABOVE NORMAL. GENERALLY DRY WEATHER THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD WITH
THE BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION BEING ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL IDAHO
AND THE WEST CENTRAL MOUNTAINS OF IDAHO WHICH WILL BE CLOSEST TO ANY
MONSOON MOISTURE TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE CWA.
