Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boise ID
914 AM MDT THU AUG 4 2016

.DISCUSSION...Pacific upper low taking position near 40/130 where
it will advect monsoon moisture northward through Nevada into our
southern CWA zones late tonight through Friday night.  Thunderstorms
in our CWA will come mainly Friday afternoon and evening, then shift
northeast into central Idaho Saturday, while our southern and western
zones dry out.  Warmer today through Saturday as in current forecast.
No updates for now.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR with smoke in valleys causing some MVFR, but
otherwise mostly clear skies. Surface winds generally 10 kts or
less. Winds aloft through 10k ft MSL...variable 5-10 kts. After
05/18, expect isolated showers and thunderstorms, especially south
of a line KBNO-KSNT, then storms shifting north and east by Saturday
morning.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
SHORT TERM...Today through Friday...Upper level flow aloft is
currently shifting to the southwest this morning in response to a
developing upper level trough off the northern CA coast.
Monsoonal moisture will be on the increase late this afternoon
into Friday as the flow aloft turns southerly. This upper level
trough will begin to move northeast across the Great Basin on
Friday afternoon and northeast of the area by midday Saturday.
Scattered thunderstorms expected to develop mainly over Harney and
Malheur Counties in Oregon, and generally southwest of the Snake
River Plain in Idaho on Friday afternoon and evening. Thus the
Fire Weather Watch for these areas. Isolated thunderstorms
expected elsewhere as the wave moves through. Moisture will remain
limited in the lower levels, so expect gusty outflow winds to
develop with high downdraft CAPE values.

LONG TERM...Friday night through Wednesday...Models agree on
slightly below normal temperatures as an upper level trough settles
over the Intermountain Region. Over the weekend monsoon moisture
will continue to support isolated showers and thunderstorms, mainly
over the higher terrain of Baker County Oregon and central Idaho,
and in the Magic Valley area. As the trough moves inland it will
replace the monsoon moisture with drier more stable air, south of
the upper low center, so chances of precipitation will be minimal
Monday through Wednesday south of Baker County Oregon and the west
central Idaho mountains.
