AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE POCATELLO ID
200 PM MDT MON APR 21 2014

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ONSHORE BY DAYBREAK AND ARRIVE IN
EASTERN IDAHO ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON. SHOWERS WILL INCREASE IN
COVERAGE LATE TONIGHT BUT WILL BECOME MOST NUMEROUS WITH THE FRONT
ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON. MODELS ARE SHOWING SOME INSTABILITY OVER THE
REGION TOMORROW SO A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ALONG WITH SOME
VERY SMALL HAIL. EXPECT A NOTICEABLE TEMPERATURE DROP WITH THE FRONT
AS SNOW LEVELS WILL FALL FROM AROUND 10000 FEET TO 6000 FEET. THE
BIGGER STORY WITH THIS SYSTEM IS THE WIND. EXPECT GUSTY WINDS ACROSS
MUCH OF EASTERN IDAHO TOMORROW AFTERNOON. THESE WINDS WILL DIMINISH
FOR A FEW HOURS TUESDAY EVENING BUT WILL RAMP BACK UP LATE TUESDAY
NIGHT AND PERSIST THROUGH WEDNESDAY ACROSS THE SNAKE PLAIN BECAUSE
OF A VERY STRONG JET STREAM OVERHEAD. WIND ADVISORIES WILL BE
ISSUED. AS FAR AS SNOW IS CONCERNED...NOT MUCH. MOST OF THE
PRECIPITATION WILL BE AHEAD OF THE FRONT. AN INCH OR TWO IS POSSIBLE
ACROSS PARTS OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS...POSSIBLY AROUND ISLAND PARK
AND PINE CREEK SUMMIT TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.

VALLE

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. WE WILL SEE A GRADUAL
INCREASE IN SHOWERS ACROSS MAINLY THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS...MAGIC
VALLEY AND UPPER SNAKE HIGHLANDS AS THE MAIN STORM REMAINS TO OUR
WEST. EVEN THOUGH THE MODELS ARE OFF JUST A BIT ON HOW IT
DISTRIBUTES PRECIPITATION AND TIMING...THE OVERALL PATTERN IS TO
FINALLY SEE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THE GFS AND
ECMWF ARE STILL ADVERTISING SPLIT FLOW OVER THE WEEKEND...WITH THE
GFS JUST A BIT STRONGER WITH THE SPLIT. WE DID INCREASE SHOWER
CHANCES OVER THE WEEKEND A BIT...BUT NOT EXTREMELY HIGH. WITH SPLIT
FLOW...WE MORE OFTEN THAN NOT DO NOT SEE A LOT OF PRECIPITATION AS
THAT WAS THE THINKING WITH THE WEEKEND ESPECIALLY SATURDAY. HEADING
INTO NEXT WEEK...HIGH PRESSURE WILL GRADUALLY BUILD ACROSS THE WEST
AND DRY THINGS OUT. THROUGH MOST OF THE EXTENDED...WE WILL BE SEE
HIGH SNOW LEVELS WHICH MEANS THE POTENTIAL OF RAIN ON TOP OF SNOW
EXISTS. TEMPERATURES IN MANY AREAS WILL STAY ABOVE FREEZING AT
NIGHT...AT LEAST THROUGH SATURDAY...WHICH WILL HELP CONTINUE
MELTING/RUNOFF POTENTIAL AT NIGHT. THERE MIGHT BE SOME SLOWING DOWN
AT NIGHT EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE MAIN KEY WILL LIKELY HOW MUCH MOISTURE
ENDS UP FALLING WHICH AS MENTIONED BEFORE DEPENDS ON HOW PATTERN
EVOLVES. KEYES

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH MOST OF THE PERIOD.
WINDS INCREASE TOMORROW AFTERNOON AS A COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS
EASTERN IDAHO...20-30KT SUSTAINED WILL DEVELOP EITHER SIDE OF IT.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MOST NUMEROUS FROM LATE MORNING
ONWARD. BLOWING DUST MAY BE AN ISSUE IN SOME AREAS...INCLUDING KIDA
AND KPIH. WITH THUNDERSTORMS TOMORROW...STRONG WINDS GUSTS AND SMALL
HAIL ARE ALSO POSSIBLE. DIPPING INTO MVFR TERRITORY CANNOT BE RULED
OUT EITHER WITH HEAVIER SHOWERS AND STORMS. KEYES

&&

.HYDROLOGY...A MOISTURE-LADEN STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
REGION TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY DUMPING PRECIPITATION ON A RIPENING
SNOWPACK. WARM DAYTIME HIGHS WILL ALSO HELP CONTRIBUTE TO SNOWMELT.
ONLY IN-BANK RISES SHOULD OCCUR IN RIVERS AS A RESULT OF THE RUNOFF.
FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. HINSBERGER
