AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE POCATELLO ID
146 PM MDT FRI AUG 8 2014

.DISCUSSION...

MOIST PATTERN CONTINUES ACROSS THE REGION. THUNDERSTORMS ARE
DEVELOPING ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AND HIGHLANDS THIS AFTERNOON. THE
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM RESPONSIBLE FOR PRODUCING WIDESPREAD
THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS HAS MOVED EAST OF THE REGION.
AS A RESULT...COVERAGE IS SOMEWHAT LOWER TODAY...MAINLY CONFINED TO
THE MOUNTAINS AND HIGHLANDS. HEAVY RAIN IS STILL A POSSIBILITY WITH
THESE STORMS AND A FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE
BEAVER CREEK BURN AREA THROUGH TONIGHT.

A WEAK UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION ON
SATURDAY. THIS WILL FIRE OFF SEVERAL THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE ENTIRE
REGION SATURDAY AFTERNOON. HAVE INCREASED CHANCES BY ABOUT 10
PERCENT EVERYWHERE. DEBATING WHETHER OR NOT TO CONTINUE THE FLOOD
WATCH INTO SATURDAY. THE COVERAGE APPEARS TO BE A LITTLE LESS AROUND
THE SHOSHONE TO KETCHUM AREAS ON SATURDAY. WILL HOLD OFF ON
EXTENDING THE FLOOD WATCH AND ALLOW MID SHIFT TO REEVALUATE. ELSEWHERE
HEAVY RAIN WITH THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN A STRONG POSSIBILITY.

MAY GET A BIT OF A REPRIEVE ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS AN UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE SETTLES IN OVER THE REGION. MONSOON MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN
PLACE...HOWEVER THE RIDGE WILL HELP TO SQUASH ACTIVITY FROM
DEVELOPING IN MANY AREAS. BEST CHANCES FOR STORMS WILL BE IN THE
MOUNTAINS...BUT COVERAGE MAY REMAIN ISOLATED.

BY MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AN UPPER TROUGH OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
WILL HELP TO ENHANCE THUNDERSTORMS COVERAGE ONCE AGAIN. COULD BE
RATHER WET AGAIN FROM MIDWEEK ONWARD.

VALLE

.AVIATION...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED THIS

CONVECTION AGAIN ON SATURDAY.   WINDS WILL BE LIGHT OUTSIDE OF
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY WITH VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED.   ONLY NON VFR
CONDITIONS UNDER HEAVY THUNDERSTORM RAIN.
