AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE POCATELLO ID
253 AM MDT FRI APR 22 2016

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. BIG CHANGES IN STORE
FOR SE IDAHO AS A CLOSED LOW/TROUGH AND ATTENDANT COLD FRONT SWING
THROUGH THE REGION ON SATURDAY. IN THE MEANTIME...ONE MORE WARM
DAY TODAY WITH HIGHS ONCE AGAIN WELL INTO THE 70S FOR THE SNAKE
PLAIN...EASTERN MAGIC VALLEY AND SOME HIGHLAND VALLEY LOCATIONS.
PRE-FRONTAL SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE TODAY...AND
THESE WILL TRANSLATE INTO BREEZY TO OCCASIONALLY WINDY CONDITIONS
AT THE SURFACE. THE GREATEST IMPACTS WILL LIKELY BE FELT AT PASS
LEVEL AND ALONG THE I-86 CORRIDOR FROM BURLEY TO POCATELLO...WHERE
SOME AREAS OF BLOWING DUST AND DIFFICULT CROSSWINDS MAY BE
ENCOUNTERED...PARTICULARLY DOWNWIND OF MOUNTAIN GAPS.

AS ELUDED TO ABOVE...A STRONG COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH A
TROUGH/CLOSED CYCLONIC CIRCULATION WILL SWING THROUGH SE IDAHO
SATURDAY MORNING. THIS WILL DROP TEMPERATURES AROUND 20 DEGREES
FOR SATURDAY. THE LEADING EDGE OF THE PRECIPITATION SHIELD WILL
ENTER THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN REGION THIS AFTERNOON IN THE FORM OF
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. INITIALLY HIGH SNOW LEVELS
WILL LIMIT SNOW TO PEAKS. SHOWERS WITH ISOLATED THUNDER WILL BREAK
OUT ACROSS ALL OF SE IDAHO SATURDAY MORNING AND WILL CONTINUE
THROUGHOUT THE DAY...WITH THE MOST PERSISTENT PRECIPITATION
SHIFTING TO THE EASTERN HIGHLANDS BY EVENING. WINDS BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT WILL TURN WESTERLY...AND MAY BE STRONG ENOUGH TO
WARRANT A WIND ADVISORY. MAIN IMPACTS WILL BE DIFFICULT CROSSWINDS
ON NORTH/SOUTH ROADS AND SOME BLOWING DUST...ALTHOUGH THIS MAY BE
MITIGATED BY MOISTENING TOPSOIL DUE TO SHOWERS ON SAT. SNOW LEVELS
FALL TO AROUND 7000 FEET ON SATURDAY...SO SNOW SHOWERS AND
POSSIBLE SLUSHY ROADS MAY DEVELOP AT PASS LEVEL. A BRIEF LULL IN
THE PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED SUNDAY NIGHT BEFORE SHOWERS INCREASE
ACROSS THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS LATE SUNDAY
NIGHT IN ADVANCE OF THE NEXT TROUGH.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

NEXT WEEK LOOKS REALLY WET. A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE
THROUGH NEVADA AND NORTHERN UTAH MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THIS WILL BRING
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS TO THE AREA. MAY BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY AROUND TO
PRODUCE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY AFTERNOON. SNOW LEVELS WILL FALL
TO 6000 OR 6500 FEET ON TUESDAY SO THERE WILL BE SOME LIGHT SNOW
THAT COULD AFFECT AREA PASSES. THIS SYSTEM DEPARTS THE AREA ON
WEDNESDAY BUT THERE IS SO MUCH MOISTURE AROUND THAT THERE WILL STILL
BE A FEW ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AROUND. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL ARRIVE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL LIKELY
TRACK THROUGH NEVADA AS WELL BUT IT COULD DIG MUCH FARTHER SOUTH THAN
THE EARLY WEEK SYSTEM. SO THERES A THREAT FOR ANOTHER WET PERIOD FOR
LATE WEEK BUT STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY.

VALLE

.AVIATION...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL SLOWLY APPROACH THE AREA
TODAY. MOST OF THE REGION WILL REMAIN DRY...HOWEVER A FEW STORMS ARE
POSSIBLE AROUND KSUN AND POSSIBLY KBYI THIS AFTERNOON. EXPECT BREEZY
CONDITIONS ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AS WELL.

.PIH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
