118 PM MDT TUE AUG 7 2012

.SHORT TERM...SW FLOW ALOFT OVER THE PAC NW IS BEGINNING TO PUSH
SOME MID LEVEL MOISTURE INTO NORTHERN AND WESTERN ID THIS
AFTERNOON. ISOLD TSTMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE CENTRAL
MTNS LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AS THE UPPER RIDGE AXIS
SHIFTS TO THE EAST ON WED...MORE MOISTURE WILL FLOW INTO ID AS THE
FLOW TAPS INTO MONSOON MOISTURE FIELD OVER THE SWRN US. TSTMS WILL
BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD WED AFTERNOON AND EVENING...MAINLY OVER THE
WESTERN HALF OF THE FCST AREA. TEMPS WILL PEAK AROUND 100 ON WED
IN PARTS OF THE SNAKE RIVER PLAIN.

.LONG TERM...THE UPPER RIDGE CONTINUES TO DOMINATE THE WEST THRU
THE WEEKEND. WARM TEMPS ALONG WITH MAINLY MTN TSTMS WILL CONTINUE.
THE GFS SHOWS THE RIDGE BEING SUPPRESSES SOMEWHAT AS ZONAL FLOW
BEGINS TO DOMINATE THE PAC NW EARLY NEXT WEEK. HEDGES

&&

.AVIATION...MONSOON MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE OVER THE AREA
IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS. ISOLATED STORMS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS AND SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS THROUGH EVENING. CHANCES INCREASE
TOMORROW OVER WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA...AFFECTING WESTERN AIRPORTS
ESPECIALLY KSUN. WE HAVE VCTS IN THE TAF FOR THEM BEING AROUND
15Z/9AM. WE ARE ALSO KEEPING SMOKE IN THE TAF DUE TO FIRES CLOSER TO
STANLEY. EXPECT SMOKE TO BE A PROBLEM AT TIMES ACROSS ALL OF EASTERN
IDAHO AS FIRES FLARE UP LOCALLY AND SMOKE DRIFTS IN FROM ELSEWHERE.
ALTHOUGH STORMS WILL BE AROUND KBYI...IT SHOULD BE ISOLATED ENOUGH
AND THE REASON WE KEPT VCTS OUT OF THE TAF. KIDA AND KPIH COULD SEE
A STORM ON OR NEAR THE AIRPORT BUT THE CHANCE IS VERY LOW.  KEYES

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...MONSOON MOISTURE WILL BE ON THE INCREASE IN THE NEXT
24 HOURS AND REMAIN THROUGH FRIDAY. SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL INCREASE
TOMORROW ESPECIALLY OVER WESTERN FIRE ZONES. COVERAGE WILL BE
ISOLATED EXCEPT IN THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND UPPER SNAKE HIGHLANDS
WHERE WIDELY SCATTERED TO SCATTERED STORMS ARE FORECAST. A RED FLAG
WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR ZONES 411/475/476/477 FOR TOMORROW
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE THREAT OF STORMS WILL WANE BUT ISOLATED
ACTIVITY IS POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS. CHANCES RAMP UP AGAIN ON THURSDAY ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS
ESPECIALLY. WE ARE LOOKING AT LIKELY RED FLAG CONDITIONS ACROSS
PORTIONS OF ZONES 411/413/475/476 DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
HOURS. DUE TO EXISTING HEADLINES...WE WILL NOT ISSUE FOR THIS
AFTERNOON A WATCH BUT UNLESS SOMETHING CHANGES EXPECT HEADLINES FOR
THESE AREAS IN THE FUTURE. A SIMILAR SCENARIO IS EXPECTED FOR
THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. THE ONLY QUESTION IS THE CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS WHERE MOISTURE IS UNCERTAIN. HOWEVER...RED FLAG CONDITIONS
ARE QUITE POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN
MOUNTAINS OTHERWISE. STORMS WILL BE MORE DRY THAT WET...WITH
DOWNBURST WINDS OVER 40 MPH POSSIBLE.  KEYES
