AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE POCATELLO ID
252 AM MDT THU AUG 1 2013

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY. ACTIVE WEATHER WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE DAY ACROSS EASTERN IDAHO. A DRY SLOT IS MOVING INTO
THE AREA WHICH WILL HELP SQUASH MOST OF THE ACTIVITY DURING THE
EARLY PART OF THE DAY EXCEPT FOR THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. THIS IS
WHERE WE SHOULD SEE SOME CONTINUED INFLUENCE FROM THE APPROACHING
WAVE SPINNING OFF THE MAIN LOW. FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...AS THAT WAVES MOVES NORTHEAST WE CAN EXPECT ANOTHER
INCREASE IN SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS TO
NEAR MONIDA PASS. LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND GUSTY WINDS OVER 40
MPH ARE LIKELY WITH STRONGER STORMS. PARAMETERS ARE BETTER TODAY
UP THERE FOR HAIL AND ALSO FOR THE OVERALL POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED
SEVERE STORMS. RIGHT NOW...THE BETTER CHANCE OF SEVERE STORMS WILL
LIKELY BE ACROSS LEMHI COUNTY AND INTO SOUTHWEST MONTANA. OTHER
STORMS WILL REDEVELOP ACROSS THE UPPER SNAKE HIGHLANDS WITH MORE
ISOLATED ACTIVITY FARTHER SOUTH INTO THE SOUTHEAST HIGHLANDS...AS
WELL ALONG THE FOOTHILLS FROM MALTA TO NEAR REXBURG. THESE STORMS
WILL LIKELY BE MAINLY WIND PRODUCERS...WITH GUSTS OVER 40 MPH
POSSIBLE AND LIGHT RAINFALL. WE ALSO EXPECT IT TO BE BREEZY
OVERALL ACROSS MOST AREAS AS WELL. SUSTAINED WINDS OF 15-25MPH ARE
FORECAST WITH HIGHER GUSTS EVEN OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORM AREAS.
THESE WINDS WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH FOR ROUGH CONDITIONS ON AMERICAN
FALLS RESERVOIR FROM MID AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNSET...THEREFORE WE
HAVE ISSUED A LAKE WIND ADVISORY FROM 2-9 PM. THE BIGGER ISSUE
WITH THE WINDS WILL BE RELATED TO CRITICAL FIRE CONDITIONS...AND
YOU CAN READ MORE ABOUT IT IN THE FIRE WEATHER SECTION BELOW. AS
THE SYSTEM PROGRESSES NORTHEAST INTO MONTANA TOMORROW...DRY AIR
CONTINUES TO INFILTRATE EASTERN IDAHO. ENOUGH MOISTURE REMAINS
THOUGH FOR A SLIGHT CHANCE OF STORMS ACROSS THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS
AND UPPER SNAKE HIGHLANDS. WE CAN EXPECT LESS WIND AND A COOLER
DAY AS WELL WITH HIGHS STRUGGLING TO REACH 90 ACROSS THE SNAKE
PLAIN AND SOUTHERN VALLEYS. SATURDAY WILL STILL SEE A SMALL CHANCE
OF STORMS ACROSS THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS TO NEAR MONIDA PASS AS
DRIER SOUTHWEST FLOW REMAINS IN PLACE. A SLIGHT WARMUP WILL HAPPEN
ON SATURDAY. KEYES

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY. THE OVERALL
PATTERN WILL RETURN TO A MORE MOIST SOUTH/SOUTHWEST FLOW AS HIGH
PRESSURE REMAINS TO OUR SOUTHEAST AND ANOTHER TROUGH FORMS ALONG
THE WEST COAST. THIS WILL HELP DRAW MONSOON MOISTURE BACK INTO
EASTERN IDAHO BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THE GFS IS DRIER THAN
THE ECMWF IN THIS REGARD...SO WE DIDN'T GO ALL OUT ON THE CHANCE
OF SHOWERS AND STORMS FOR NOW. WE ARE KEEPING MAINLY OVER HIGHER
ELEVATIONS BUT IF THIS TREND CONTINUES WE WILL NEED TO START
INCREASING STORM CHANCES FOR ALL AREAS IN THE COMING DAYS. WE WILL
ALSO SEE TEMPERATURES SLOWLY CREEPING UPWARD UNTIL WE BEGIN TO SEE
MORE CLOUDS AND CONVECTION UNDER THE MONSOON PUSH.  KEYES

&&

.AVIATION...ANOTHER DAY OF THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TODAY...BUT MAINLY
IN THE CENTRAL MTNS AND UPPER SNAKE RIVER PLAIN. THIS WOULD INCLUDE
KSUN AND KIDA. BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND
CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING. OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL.
HEDGES

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...THE UPPER LOW OFF THE PAC NW COAST WILL SET OFF
ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS TODAY...WITH MOST OF THE ACTIVITY IN
THE CENTRAL IDAHO MOUNTAINS AND UPPER SNAKE HIGHLANDS. THE REST OF
THE AREA IS EXPECTED TO SEE ONLY ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. GUSTY WINDS
ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON...WITH THE STRONGEST
OCCURRING IN THE MOUNTAINS. THE WINDS...ALONG WITH LOW AFTERNOON
HUMIDITY WILL INCREASE THE FIRE RISK IN THE SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS.
THEREFORE...WILL ADD FIRE ZONES 427 AND 413 TO THE RED FLAG WARNING
FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE RED FLAG WARNING FOR
THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR THE CENTRAL IDAHO MOUNTAINS
AS WELL. NOT EXPECTING WINDS TO REACH CRITERIA IN THE SNAKE RIVER
PLAIN TODAY...BUT IT WILL STILL BE BREEZY ENOUGH TO CAUSE SOME
PROBLEMS. AS THE UPPER FLOW TURNS MORE SOUTHWESTERLY ON FRI...THE
MOISTURE WILL BE PUSHED OUT OF THE AREA. ONLY ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
ARE EXPECTED IN THE CENTRAL IDAHO MOUNTAINS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...
THEN DRY FOR SUNDAY. HEDGES
