AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE POCATELLO ID
334 AM MST THU FEB 7 2013

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. CURRENT WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY SHOWS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW IN THE PACIFIC JUST OFF THE
BRITISH COLUMBIA COAST. MID AND UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE ARE SPILLING
OVER THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IN OUR AREA. THE RIDGE AXIS IS OVER
OUR EASTERN BORDERS AND CONTINUES TO MOVE EAST. WITH HIGH PRESSURE
RIDGING LOOK FOR PATCHY FOG IN THE SNAKE RIVER PLAIN...UPPER SNAKE
HIGHLANDS...SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS AND THE BEAR LAKE REGION THIS
MORNING.

MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THE UPPER LEVEL LOW TO DROP SOUTHEAST OVER
CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA WITH MOISTURE REACHING OUR MOST SOUTHWEST BORDERS
BY EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. BOTH THE GFS AND NAM MODELS SHOW THE
SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS...CARIBOU HIGHLANDS...CACHE VALLEY...AND BEAR
LAKE ZONES GETTING 5 TO 10 INCHES OF SNOW FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
THUS..A WINTER STORM WATCH HAS BEEN CONTINUED AND WILL LIKELY GET
UPDATED TO AN WARNING LATER TODAY IF MODELS CONTINUE TO STAY ON
TRACK. ADDITIONALLY...THE NAM MODEL SHOWS UPSLOPE FLOW FOR THE
LOST RIVER ZONE WITH THIS AREA RECEIVING 2 TO 4 INCHES OF SNOW.
ALSO...THE MODELS SHOW THE EASTERN MAGIC VALLEY AND THE LOWER SNAKE
RIVER PLAIN RECEIVING 2 TO 4 INCHES OF SNOW AS WELL. THERE IS SOME
UNCERTAINTY WITH THESE AMOUNTS BECAUSE TEMPERATURES MAY RISE ABOVE
FREEZING IN LOWER AREAS. IF MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THESE AMOUNTS
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES WILL BE NEEDED FOR THESE AREAS. LOOK FOR
BREEZY TO MODERATE WINDS ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY AND PARTICULARLY
SATURDAY CAUSING AREAS OF BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW. COLDER
TEMPERATURES WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA WITH WRAP AROUND NORTHEAST
FLOW ON SATURDAY. WYATT

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY. AS THE MAIN UPPER LOW
EJECTS EAST THROUGH COLORADO...A REINFORCING SHORT-WAVE IS EXPECTED
TO DROP INTO THE WRN PERIPHERY OF THE EXITING TROUGH BRINGING A SHOT
OF COLD AIR TO THE REGION. THE GFS TIMING IS FASTER AND FURTHER WEST
THAN THE ECMWF SO THE INTENSITY OF THE COLD AIR INTRUSION AND
ACCOMPANYING PRECIPITATION MAY CHANGE OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT
FEW DAYS. BY TUESDAY...THE COASTAL RIDGE BEGINS TO EXPAND EASTWARD
OVER THE REGION WHICH SHOULD BRING MODERATING TEMPERATURES TO HIGHER
ELEVATIONS AT FIRST AND THEN TO THE LOWER ELEVATIONS THURSDAY AS A
PACIFIC LOW TOPS THE RIDGE AND DIGS SE INTO IDAHO. BOTH THE GFS AND
ECMWF ARE SHOWING VERY GOOD AGREEMENT ON THIS NEXT FEATURE WITH
REGARD TO TIMING AND TRACK OF THE WAVE. HUSTON

&&

.AVIATION...THE LATEST FOG/STRATUS IMAGERY WAS SHOWING A BROAD AREA
OF LOW (IFR/MVFR) CLOUDS EXTENDING FROM KIDA NORTH INTO THE MONTANA
BORDER REGION EARLY THIS MORNING AS THE NEXT UPSTREAM STORM SYSTEM
AND ASSOCIATED MID AND UPPER CLOUDS SPREAD INTO WRN IDAHO. CURRENT
MODEL CROSS SECTIONS SHOW INCREASING MOISTURE THROUGH THE PERIOD AS
THE TROUGH GRADUALLY SPREADS INLAND TODAY AND TONIGHT WITH WIDESPREAD
RESTRICTIVE CIGS (MVFR/IFR) ANTICIPATED FRIDAY AFTERNOON AS THE LOW
CUTS SE THROUGH NEVADA. MODEL TRENDS ALSO SUGGEST THAT THE LOW LEVEL
STRATUS WILL NOT WORK BACK DOWN THE VALLEY TO KPIH AND KBYI THIS
MORNING AS THE CURRENT TERMINALS SUGGEST AND THIS HAS BEEN GENERALLY
SUPPORTED IN RECENT FOG/STRATUS IMAGERY THAT HAS SHOWED A SLOW
EROSION OF THE LOW CLOUDS FROM THE SW...SO KIDA MIGHT ALSO BE
OVERLY PESSIMISTIC IN THIS REGARD. HUSTON
