AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BOISE ID
243 PM MDT FRI AUG 17 2012

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...UPPER RIDGE BUILDING ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA TODAY AND SATURDAY FOR MOSTLY DRY AND WARM
CONDITIONS. MOISTURE SHIFTING NORTH TONIGHT INTO CENTRAL OREGON
ASSOCIATED WITH LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OFF THE WEST COAST. THIS
MOISTURE WILL CLIP WESTERN HARNEY COUNTY FOR A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT. UPPER RIDGE AXIS AND SURFACE THERMAL TROUGH
WILL BE OVER THE CWA SATURDAY WHICH WILL ALLOW SMOKE TO RETURN TO
THE LOWER VALLEYS. THE SMOKE WILL ALSO LIMIT SATURDAY TEMPERATURES
TO THE UPPER 90S. MODELS HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY BACKED AWAY FROM WIDE
SPREAD CONVECTION THIS WEEKEND. THE MAIN REASON FOR THIS APPEARS
TO BE A MORE WESTWARD TRACK OF THE UPPER LOW THAN BEFORE AS WELL
AS THE EARLY MORNING TIMING OF SHORTWAVE TROUGH. CONVECTION WILL
BE LIMITED TO HARNEY COUNTY LATE ON SATURDAY WHICH IS JUST AHEAD
OF 500 MB SHORTWAVE. AS THE SHORTWAVE MOVES NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT IT
WILL MOVE INTO MORE STABLE AIRMASS IN SW IDAHO. BY 18Z...THE
SHORTWAVE IS IN WESTERN MONTANA WITH DRIER AIR MOVING IN FROM THE
SOUTHWEST. FORECAST MODELS...IN PARTICULAR THE NAM12...HASN/T
MAINTAINED MUCH CONSISTENCE WITH SHORTWAVE TROUGH...HOWEVER THE
LAST SEVERAL RUNS HAVE FAVORED AN EARLY SUNDAY MORNING PASSAGE.
THERE COULD BE ENOUGH MOISTURE REMAINING ACROSS SW IDAHO SUNDAY
AFTERNOON FOR CONVECTION. KEPT A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS
MAINLY ACROSS CENTRAL IDAHO.

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...DECREASING POPS SUNDAY
NIGHT AS A WEAK SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVES NORTH AND EAST OF THE
FORECAST AREA.  MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS OVER THE AREA MONDAY AND
MONDAY NIGHT AS THE RIDGE REBUILDS OVER THE REGION.  RIDGE WILL BE
SHORT LIVED AS MODELS NOW IN BETTER AGREEMENT IN BRINGING AN UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST BEGINNING LATE MONDAY.  EVEN
THOUGH MODELS AGREE WITH THE WEATHER PATTERN FROM TUESDAY THROUGH
FRIDAY THERE ARE DIFFERENCES IN PLACEMENT OF MOISTURE AND
PRECIPITATION.  GFS HAS MORE MOISTURE THAN THE ECMWF BUT LATEST RUN
OF THE ECMWF DID SHOW MORE MOISTURE THAN THE PREVIOUS RUN WHICH WAS
DRY.  WILL TREND THE FORECAST TOWARDS THE GFS WITH THE BEST CHANCE
OF PRECIPITATION LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY NIGHT.  MAINLY
DRY CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AS THE FLOW ALOFT OVER THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST BECOMES WESTERLY AS THE TROUGH MOVES EAST OF THE
REGION AND ANOTHER TROUGH BEGINS TO FORM ALONG THE CANADIAN WEST
COAST.  TEMPERATURES EARLY IN THE EXTENDED WILL BE A FEW DEGREES
ABOVE NORMAL THEN COOL TO NEAR NORMAL BY FRIDAY.

.AVIATION...LOCAL MVFR AND ISOLATED IFR VISIBILITY DUE TO SMOKE IN
THE BOISE MOUNTAINS AND ALONG THE ID/NV AND OR/NV BORDERS DEVELOPING
AFTER SUNSET.  WILL CONTINUE TO SEE NUMEROUS SMOKE LAYERS THROUGH
15K FEET MSL.  OTHERWISE WILL SEE MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES TONIGHT WITH A
FEW CUMULUS ALONG THE NEVADA BORDER UNTIL SUNSET.  SURFACE WINDS
WILL BE WESTERLY AROUND 10 KNOTS THIS EVENING BECOMING LIGHT AND
VARIABLE AFTER SUNSET.  WINDS ALOFT WILL BE FROM THE NORTHWEST 10 TO
20 KNOTS THROUGH 10K FEET MSL.

&&

.AIR STAGNATION...UPPER LEVEL PATTERN MAINLY THE SAME ALTHOUGH WINDS
BECOMING A LITTLE LIGHTER AS THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS IN OVER THE
AREA. AIR QUALITY WILL DETERIORATE THROUGH SATURDAY WHEN A TROUGH
MOVES THOUGH THE REGION BRINGING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS INCLUDING MORE MIXING AND VENTILATION INTO SUNDAY. A
SLIGHT PATTERN SHIFT IS EXPECTED ON TUESDAY TO WEDNESDAY NEXT WEEK
AS THE UPPER RIDGE BREAKS DOWN WITH A SERIES OF IMPULSES MOVING
THROUGH THE REGION AND THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME RAIN SHOWERS.

DESPITE THIS...IT IS NOT EXPECTED TO HELP MUCH IN THE WAY OF
AIR QUALITY AS THE MORNING DRAINAGE INTO THE VALLEYS WILL CONTINUE
OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AND THE FIRES AROUND THE REGION WILL
CONTRIBUTE TO THE ADVECTION OF SMOKE INTO THE AREA REGARDLESS OF THE
PATTERN AND WIND DIRECTION. LOOK FOR THE INVERSION TO BREAK AROUND
NOON TODAY AND BY MID MORNING ON SATURDAY.
