AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE POCATELLO ID
1216 PM MDT WED SEP 4 2013

.DISCUSSION...UPPER LOW OFF THE PAC NW COAST CONTINUES TO PUMP
SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE INTO ID TODAY...BUT NOT QUITE AS RIPE AS
YESTERDAY. ALSO...DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE THE FORCING MECHANISMS.
NOT SEEING MUCH SIGNS OF CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT AS THIS TIME
YESTERDAY. AS A RESULT...TSTM COVERAGE TODAY SHOULD BE LESS
WIDESPREAD. NAM MODEL DID NOT INITIALIZE WELL THIS MORNING WITH
RESPECT TO THE QPF. NAM QPF ATTEMPTED TO PAINT HEAVY PRECIP NEAR
THE DIVIDE...BUT LITTLE ACTUALLY OCCURRED. THIS MAY HAVE AN IMPACT
ON THE ACCURACY OF THE QPF SOLUTION TODAY. THE GFS SUGGESTS MUCH
LESS TSTM COVERAGE TODAY...AS DOES THE HI RES MODEL. THE HIGH RES
IS BRINGING A WAVE OF PRECIP INTO THE WESTERN PART OF THE FCST
AREA LATE TONIGHT. THU LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER HEAVY RAIN DAY. WITH
GROUND ALREADY SATURATED FROM RAIN YESTERDAY...HAVE EXTENDED BOTH
THE AREA AND TIME OF THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH UNTIL THU EVE.

STILL EXPECT TO SEE LINGERING MTN TSTMS FRI AND SAT AS THE UPPER
LOW MOVES TO THE ID PANHANDLE. THE UPPER LOW FINALLY MOVES OUT OF
THE PICTURE ON SUNDAY...WITH UPPER RIDGING BECOMING THE DOMINANT
FEATURE NEXT WEEK. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN DRY CONDITIONS SUN THRU
WED. HEDGES

&&

.AVIATION...MONSOON MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO HELP TRIGGER SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER EASTERN IDAHO THROUGH TOMORROW. KSUN AND KBYI
LIKELY STAND THE BEST CHANCE OF SEEING -SHRA/-TSRA ON SITE BASED ON
THE LATEST INFO THROUGH TONIGHT. WITH THE VERY MOIST AIRMASS IN
PLACE...JUST ABOUT ANYONE COULD SEE DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. THAT IS WHY WE ARE KEEPING VCSH OR VCTS IN FOR ALL TAF
SITES. TOMORROW LOOKS LIKE A BETTER CHANCE OF DEVELOPMENT FOR ALL
AREAS. MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE DURING PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN
ALONG WITH POSSIBLE STRONG DOWNBURST WINDS WITH STRONGEST STORMS.
WHILE NOT A CERTAINTY...SOME FOG MAY DEVELOP AGAIN IN THE MORNING IN
AREAS WHERE IT RAINS TODAY OR ENOUGH MOISTURE IS LEFT OVER FROM
YESTERDAY.  KEYES

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE
AREA THROUGH TOMORROW. THE BEST CHANCE THROUGH TONIGHT APPEARS TO BE
ACROSS THE WESTERN FIRE ZONES. ALL AREAS ARE LOOKING AT POTENTIAL
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT DUE TO THE EXTREMELY MOIST AIRMASS IN
PLACE. HEAVY RAINFALL IS STILL EXPECTED...ALTHOUGH CONDITIONS ARE A
LITTLE MORE RIPE FOR SOME HAIL AND STRONG WINDS ESPECIALLY TOMORROW.
THE MODELS CONTINUE TO MOVE THE LOW EASTWARD ALONG THE U.S./CANADA
BORDER...ALTHOUGH THE GFS IS NOW A BIT FASTER THAN THE OTHER MODELS
MOVING IT EASTWARD. BECAUSE OF THAT...WE ARE KEEPING A SLIGHT CHANCE
OF MOUNTAIN SHOWERS/STORMS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WE SHOULD EVENTUALLY
DRY OUT FOR ALL AREAS EARLY NEXT WEEK. WITH A COLD FRONT AND THE
SYSTEM ITSELF MOVING ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY THROUGH
SUNDAY...AFTERNOON WINDS WILL BE BREEZY. HOWEVER...CRITICAL WEATHER
CONDITIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED AS IT WILL BE A BIT COOLER AND HUMIDITY
VALUES DON'T DROP A WHOLE LOT DURING THE DAY. KEYE
