AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE POCATELLO ID
129 PM MDT FRI JUL 6 2012

.DISCUSSION...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
EVENING HOURS ESPECIALLY ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST
AREA. WHILE MOST STORMS WILL PRODUCE LIGHT RAINFALL...HEAVIER
CELLS COULD PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN...SMALL HAIL AND PERHAPS
SOME GUSTY WINDS. WE WILL SEE STORMS DIMINISH OVERNIGHT ALTHOUGH A
FEW STRAY STORMS ARE NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. THE RIDGE CONTINUES
TO REBUILD ACROSS THE WEST THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WE WILL CONTINUE
TO SEE SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS MAINLY HIGHER ELEVATIONS THROUGH
SUNDAY. HIGHER PROBABILITIES WILL EXIST OVER THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS
BOTH DAYS. FOR SATURDAY...IT APPEARS A LITTLE BETTER INSTABILITY
AND SMALL SURGE OF MOISTURE SNEAKS INTO THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS.
THEREFORE...WE RAISED THEM FROM AROUND ISLAND PARK SOUTHWARD
TOWARD BEAR LAKE AND PRESTON. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT ALOFT SO WE
EXPECTING STORMS TO BE SLOW MOVING WHICH ALSO WOULD INCREASE THE
CHANCE FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. THE RIDGE REMAINS PRETTY MUCH
IN PLACE THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK. THIS MEANS IT WILL
REMAIN WARM WITH SOME CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS ESPECIALLY IN
THE MOUNTAINS AS SOME MOISTURE ROTATES AROUND THE FRINGES OF THE
HIGH. WITH THIS PATTERN...EXPECT HIGHS IN THE VALLEYS TO PUSH WELL
INTO THE 90S WITH SOME PLACES POSSIBLY HITTING 100-105.

FOR THE MIDDLE AND END OF NEXT WEEK... THE MODELS ARE TRENDING
TOWARD THE HIGH BEING PUSHED BACK TO THE SOUTH AND/OR EAST AS LOW
PRESSURE DEVELOPS ALONG THE COAST. THERE ARE NOW SOME HIGH
DIFFERENCES SHOWING UP BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF. THE GFS AND ITS
ENSEMBLES ARE SHOWING THE RIDGE BEING PUSHED FARTHER EAST...WHICH
IS ENOUGH TO ALLOW A BETTER SURGE OF MONSOON MOISTURE BACK INTO
EASTERN IDAHO. THE ECMWF SUPPRESSES IT MORE SOUTHWARD...WHICH
WOULD ACTUALLY DRIES THINGS OUT AND ACTUALLY COULD PUSH
TEMPERATURES PRETTY SIMILAR TO EARLIER IN THE WEEK. FOR TODAY...WE
WILL FOLLOW THE FORECAST FROM LAST NIGHT WHICH SHOWED COOLER
TEMPERATURES AND A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ESPECIALLY
IN THE MOUNTAINS. THIS WOULD BE MORE IN LINE WITH WHAT THE GFS WAS
SHOWING US. KEYES

&&

.AVIATION...-TSRA THREAT TONIGHT LIMITED TO WESTERN AIRDROMES WITH
BEST INSTABILITY NEAR KBYI.  RADAR ALREADY SHOWING TWIN FALLS COUNTY
WITH DEVELOPING CELLS AND LIGHTNING.  -TSRA ACTIVITY SHOULD BE OVER
BY 07/0300Z AS DAYS HEATING ENDS AND SUBSIDENCE INCREASES.  MESSICK

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING WHERE EXPECTED TODAY AND
MOVING NORTHWARD...POTENTIALLY INTO THE EASTERN MAGIC VALLEY.  SO
WILL KEEP RED FLAG GOING FOR TONIGHT.  HAVE ALSO ISSUED RED FLAG FOR
SAT BASED ON WHERE BEST INSTABILITY IS.  THE FOCUS SHIFTS TO THE
SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE FORECAST AREA...BUT NEVER QUITE LEAVES THE
EASTERN HALF OF THE SALMON-CHALLIS NF AND NORTHERN SAWTOOTH.  HIGHER
ELEVATIONS OF THE IDAHO FALLS BLM LAND...INCLUDING TETON
VALLEY...WILL ALSO BE AT RISK OF WIDELY SCATTERED TO SCATTERED
CONCENTRATIONS OF THUNDERSTORMS.  WIND WILL STAY LIGHT AS HIGH
PRESSURE CONTINUES THROUGH THE WEEKEND.  EXPECT HUMIDITY TO DRY OUT
AND FOR A GENERAL WARM UP AS CLOUD COVER HAS CLEARED COMPARED TO
YESTERDAY AND AS THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE SHIFTS WESTWARD FROM THE
GREAT PLAINS.  MESSICK
