AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE POCATELLO ID
839 AM MDT SAT JUL 21 2012

.UPDATE...RADAR AND SATELLITE SHOWING ISOLATED CONVECTIVE SHOWERS
HAVE DEVELOPED IN AREA OF INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE EXTENDING EAST
OF A LINE FROM MONIDA PASS TO THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF IDAHO AND
INTO NORTHERN NEVADA. HAVE UPDATED FORECAST FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THIS MORNING AND THIS AFTERNOON TO REFLECT INCREASED AREA OF
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS AND EARLIER TIMING. DSH

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 235 AM MDT SAT JUL 21 2012/

SHORT TERM...MAIN PLUME OF MONSOON MOISTURE EARLY THIS MORNING
LIES OVER FAR EASTERN ID. AS AN UPPER LOW WEST OF BC GRADUALLY
DRIFTS SE TOWARD NW WA...THE UPPER FLOW OVER ID WILL ALLOW THE
MONSOON MOISTURE BACK INTO MOST OF THE FCST AREA BY SUNDAY. ISOLD
TO WIDELY SCATTERED TSTMS ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE MTNS MAINLY THIS
AFTN AND EVE. THE BEST CHANCES WILL BE IN THE UPPER SNAKE
HIGHLANDS. BY SUNDAY...EXPECT SCATTERED TSTMS IN THE MTNS AND
ISOLD TSTMS IN THE VALLEYS. MONSOON MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO FUEL
SCATTERED TSTMS IN THE EASTERN HIGHLANDS ON MONDAY...WITH ISOLD
COVERAGE ELSEWHERE. THIS WILL BE DUE TO THE UPPER LOW MOVING INTO
NORTH CENTRAL WA...FORCING A MORE WESTERLY FLOW OVER ID. THE
WESTERLY FLOW WILL PUSH THE MONSOON MOISTURE TO THE SOUTH AND EAST
OF ID...WITH ONLY ISOLD MTN TSTMS IN THE SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS EXPECTED
TUE AND WED.

LONG TERM...THE UPPER RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD BACK UP BY
THU...THUS ALLOWING MONSOON MOISTURE BACK INTO ID. THE AMOUNT OF
MOISTURE LOOKS RATHER LIMITED AT THIS TIME...SO ONLY EXPECTING
ISOLD MTN TSTMS THU/FRI/SAT. TEMPS WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY
UNCHANGED THROUGH THE FCST PERIOD. HEDGES

AVIATION...MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SOUTHWEST MONSOON CONTINUES
TO SLIP INTO THE SOUTH CENTRAL AND EASTERN HIGHLANDS TODAY. ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE MOUNTAINS. KBYI LOOKS TO BE THE
ONE TAF SITE WHERE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WOULD TRACK IN A DIRECTION
TOWARDS THE AIR FIELD. AREAL COVERAGE OF AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS
INCREASES SOME ON SUNDAY WITH A LOW PRESSURE DISTURBANCE MOVING INTO
WASHINGTON STATE. RS

FIRE WEATHER...HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE REMAINS OVER COLORADO WITH
LIMITED MONSOON MOISTURE CONTINUING TO SLIP NORTH INTO IDAHO.
ISOLATED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON WILL FAVOR TWO
AREAS...THE FIRST FROM LEADORE TO ISLAND PARK...AND THE SECOND THE
GOOSE CREEK AND RAFT RIVER AREA. MINIMUM AFTERNOON HUMIDITY WILL
SHOW LITTLE CHANGE. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS MONTANA WILL FAVOR
A NORTH TO NORTHEAST WIND IN THE SNAKE PLAIN OVER NIGHT...OTHERWISE
DAY TIME WINDS WILL BE MOSTLY SLOPE DRIVEN. SUNDAY...A LOW PRESSURE
DISTURBANCE MOVING INTO WASHINGTON STATE WILL INCREASE FORCING AND
AREAL COVERAGE OF AFTERNOON ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO AREAS EAST OF
CHALLIS. RS
