AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE POCATELLO ID
144 AM MDT SUN MAY 8 2016

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. UPPER LOW OVER UT/AZ
LOSING ITS INFLUENCE AS IT CONTINUES TO LIFT EASTWARD AND FILL.
SYNOPTIC FORCING REMAINS WEAK FOR MOST OF TODAY...THOUGH
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS STILL POSSIBLE FROM OROGRAPHIC EFFECTS AND
AFTERNOON HEATING. NAM BRING ONE FINAL LOBE OF ENERGY FROM THE
UPPER LOW OVER BEAR LAKE COUNTY LATE TONIGHT AND HITS IT WITH UP
TO AN ADDITIONAL INCH OF RAINFALL...BUT GFS/SREF SIGNIFICANTLY
DRIER. UPPER LOW DEPARTS EARLY MONDAY...BUT ANOTHER LOW LOOKS TO
DROP IN FROM THE NORTHWEST. THIS LOW CARRIES MUCH LESS MOISTURE
AND MAY ONLY TRIGGER ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS CONFINED MAINLY TO THE
CENTRAL MOUNTAINS ACROSS TO THE ISLAND PARK AREA. THE SNAKE PLAIN
MAY SEE AN INCREASE IN WINDS MONDAY WITH GUIDANCE PUTTING US
SOLIDLY IN WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA. THE UPPER LOW/TROUGH SHOULD
CONTINUE TO CHURN UP SOME SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDER THROUGH TUESDAY
NIGHT.  HINSBERGER

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...HIGH PRESSURE EXPECTED TO BE
SETTLED TO OUR EAST TO ALLOW FOR MOSTLY SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ACROSS
OUR REGION AND PRECIP FREE WEATHER. ON THURSDAY A WEAK BACKDOOR COLD
FRONT WILL CLIP THE NORTHERN AREAS OF IDAHO WHICH COULD PROVIDE
SOME SHOWERS ALONG THE MONTANA BORDER AND IN THE CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS. HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED FOR THE REMINDER OF THE WEEK
BEFORE THE NEXT WEATHER SYSTEM IS FORECAST FOR THE WEEKEND. THERE
ARE SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES BETWEEN WEATHER MODELS BUT LOOKS LIKE
THEY ALL SHOW PRECIP COMING INTO THE AREA. NP/HINSBERGER
&&

.AVIATION...A COLD FRONT TO APPROACH THE REGION LATER TONIGHT AND
LIKELY TO BECOME STATIONARY SOMEWHERE OVER IDAHO...MAKING THE
FORECAST A BIT TRICKY. WE ARE EXPECTING THE FRONT TO PASS THROUGH
ALL THE TAF SITES WITH VARYING WIND SPEEDS AND DIRECTIONS IN ITS
WAKE...THE TIMING OF THESE OCCURRENCES ARE WHAT WILL MAKE THE
FORECAST TRICKY. MOSTLY VFR CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TODAY FOR ALL BUT
BYI AND POSSIBLY SUN THIS MORNING...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR LOW
STRATUS OR A FOG BANK CREATING IFR CEILINGS DURING THE EARLY TO MID
MORNING HOURS. POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL RAIN SHOWERS AGAIN TODAY
ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY...SO GREATEST CHANCES EXPECTED AT IDA AND
SUN. NP/HINSBERGER
&&

.PIH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
