CORRECTED TIME HEADER...

.UPDATE...OBSERVATIONS INDICATING WIND ADVISORY FROM POCATELLO
AIRPORT DOWN TO THE 84/86 INTERCHANGE. WINDS WILL LIKELY STAY UP
INTO THE EARLY EVENING BEFORE DIMINISHING. MUCH STRONGER WINDS
LIKELY ON SATURDAY. ADDITIONAL HEADLINES TO COME FOR SAT AND SUN ON
THE AFTERNOON ISSUANCE.

VALLE

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. SNOW AND GUSTY WINDS
WILL CONTINUE TODAY AS WE REMAIN IN STRONG NORTHWEST FLOW WITH A
WEAKER SYSTEM PASSING THROUGH. 24 HOUR SNOW AMOUNTS THROUGH THIS
EVENING WILL BE 2-6 INCHES FOR THE MOUNTAINS AND MOSTLY AN INCH OR
LESS FOR MOST VALLEY LOCATIONS. WINDS TODAY WILL BE RUNNING
15-30MPH FOR MANY AREAS WITH HIGHER GUSTS. POCKETS OF BLOWING AND
DRIFTING SNOW ARE LIKELY FOR THE MOUNTAINS THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND
THIS MORNING FOR A FEW VALLEY LOCATIONS...BUT FOR NOW WE WILL NOT
ISSUE ANY HEADLINES. WE SHOULD SEE A 2-4 DEGREE WARMUP TODAY
ACROSS EASTERN IDAHO...WHICH WILL HELP MORE SNOW AT LOWER
ELEVATIONS.

AFTER MIDNIGHT AND INTO SATURDAY NIGHT...ALL WE CAN SAY IS THAT
WILL BE WINDY WITH SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS AND RAIN CHANGING TO SNOW
IN THE VALLEYS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. SNOW LEVELS BY MORNING WILL
VARY GREATLY...WITH PORTIONS OF THE SNAKE PLAIN SETTING AT THE
VALLEY FLOOR DUE TO LACK OF WIND. ELSEWHERE...INCLUDING THE
MOUNTAINS...THEY WILL RUN FROM 4500-6000FT. THEY WILL PEAK AHEAD
OF THE COLD FRONT AT 5500-6500FT AREAWIDE BEFORE CRASHING BACK TO
THE VALLEY FLOORS TOMORROW NIGHT. WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO HOWL
THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD THANKS TO VERY STRONG WINDS AROUND 10000FT
AND A STRENGTHENING PRESSURE GRADIENT. WITH QUITE A BIT OF CLOUD
COVER...THE LOWER ELEVATIONS WILL LIKELY SEE 20-35MPH WINDS WITH
GUSTS OF 40-50 MPH ESPECIALLY AS THE FRONT PUSHES THROUGH. THE
MOUNTAINS WILL SEE VERY STRONG WINDS FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF
TIME...SUSTAINED 35-45 MPH AT TIMES WITH GUSTS OF 55-70MPH
POSSIBLE AT THEIR PEAK. THIS WILL MAKE VERY DANGEROUS CONDITIONS
FOR THOSE TRAVELLING OVER MANY OF OUR MOUNTAIN PASSES AND ALSO
SPENDING ANY TIME OUT IN THE BACKCOUNTRY. SNOW AMOUNTS FOR MUCH OF
THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN MOUNTAINS ABOVE 5500FT WILL BE IN THE 6-12
INCH RANGE...WITH SOME AREAS SEEING CLOSER TO 20 INCHES. THE
MOUNTAIN VALLEYS HERE SHOULD SEE 2-6 INCHES. THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS
SHOULD OCCUR IN THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS NORTH/WEST OF SUN VALLEY AND
ALSO ALONG THE WYOMING BORDER AND HEADING INTO FAR SOUTHWEST MONTANA.
DUE TO WARMER CONDITIONS AND/OR DOWNSLOPE FLOW...2-8 INCHES OF SNOW
IS POSSIBLE FOR OUR OTHER MOUNTAIN RANGES WITH A TRACE TO 2 INCHES
FOR THE VALLEYS INCLUDING THE SNAKE PLAIN. WE WILL KEEP THE WINTER
STORM WATCHES OUT FOR PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL/EASTERN MOUNTAINS IN
PLACE ALLOWING THE DAY SHIFT TO UPGRADE. WE WILL LIKELY SEE
ADDITIONAL WIND AND/OR WINTER WEATHER HEADLINES ISSUED FOR OTHER
AREAS BEFORE THIS EVENT IS OVER. KEYES

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. MAIN SHORTWAVE AXIS PASSES EARLY
SUNDAY LEAVING CONTINUED STRONG WINDS IN ITS WAKE PARTICULARLY
THROUGH SNAKE PLAIN AND HIGHER ELEVATIONS. GUIDANCE MAINTAINS WINDS
WELL ABOVE ADVISORY CRITERIA WITH STRONGEST WINDS EARLY IN THE DAY.
GRADIENT DOES WEAKEN THROUGH THE DAY BUT ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVE AXIS
RAPIDLY PUSHES THROUGH THE PACNW SUNDAY. THIS WAVE SHOULD BE AN
ADDITIONAL BOOST FOR PRECIP CHANCES AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS SUNDAY INTO
SUNDAY NIGHT...AND MAY BE ENOUGH TO KEEP STRONG WINDS GOING INTO THE
AFTERNOON. RAPID DECREASE IN PRECIP EVEN IN THE EASTERN HIGHLANDS
THROUGH MONDAY AS RIDGE REBUILDS INTO THE INTERIOR WEST STATES. BOTH
GFS AND ECMWF INDICATE DRY SHORTWAVE DROPPING FROM BC CANADA THROUGH
MONTANA WEDNESDAY...WHICH SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOR SOME ADDITIONAL CLOUD
COVER BUT NO SIGNS OF PRECIP AT THIS TIME. RIDGE AXIS SHIFTS OVER
EASTERN IDAHO THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. BOTH MODELS ALONG WITH
DECENT ENSEMBLE AGREEMENT LEAD INTO NEXT SIGNIFICANT TROUGH ARRIVING
AFTER THE DAY8 TIME FRAME. DMH

.AVIATION...ACTIVE PATTERN REMAINING IN PLACE TODAY AHEAD OF MORE
SIGNIFICANT FEATURES MOVING INTO EASTERN IDAHO TONIGHT AND SATURDAY.
GUSTY STRONG WINDS AROUND 25KTS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE SNAKE
PLAIN TERMINAL SITES ESPECIALLY KPIH AND KBYI. PLENTY OF MOISTURE
WILL KEEP MVFR CEILINGS AT THE SNAKE PLAIN TERMINALS AS WELL...AND
CANT RULE OUT THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT SNOW SHOWER WITH LOCALIZED IFR
THROUGH THE DAY. BETTER MOISTURE AND DYNAMICS BEGIN TO IMPACT ALL
SITES OVERNIGHT FOR LOWERED CEILINGS/VISIBILITIES MORE AREAS. DMH
