Area Forecast Discussion...Corrected
National Weather Service Boise ID
930 AM MST Thu Jan 5 2017

.DISCUSSION...The main snowfall has ended but flurries continue.
The storm is in the eastern Great Basin this morning and headed
toward the southern Rockies Friday.  Drier and colder northeasterly
flow aloft now pushing into our area.  With gradually clearing
skies, deep new snow cover, and light surface winds, tonight and
Friday will be very cold, with sub-zero lows everywhere Friday
morning.  Valleys will drop to zero to 10 below.  Mountains sites
will dip to 20 to 30 below zero. Highs Friday will only be zero
to 10 above in the valleys, but 10 to 20 above zero at higher
elevations as milder westerly flow aloft begins.  Next Pacific
storm will bring significant pcpn and also significant warming.
A complicated forecast is shaping up for Sunday with more snow
in the mountains, and snow, freezing rain, or even rain in the
valleys as temperatures rise.  For now the current forecast looks
good.  No updates.

&&

.AVIATION...Mostly VFR. Local MVFR/IFR conditions in fog/stratus
through 19Z. Low stratus may linger in valleys, but otherwise mostly
clear skies. Fog and low stratus is possible tonight and Friday
morning in valley locations, especially the lower Snake River Plain
and southeast Oregon. Surface winds generally 12 knots or less.
Winds aloft north to northeast around 10 knots up through 10K feet
MSL.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
SHORT TERM...Today through Friday...Northeast flow has now
developed over the region bringing drier air from the northeast.
Lingering flurries and low clouds are present this morning from
residual moisture left over from the storm that impacted the
region yesterday. Expect partial clearing by this afternoon as
drier air continues to move into the region, although how much
clearing is still in question. Models develop low stratus and fog
over much of eastern Oregon toward the lower Treasure Valley
and the Weiser River Basin overnight into Friday morning. Temperature
forecast will be very difficult tonight (low confidence), especially
if low clouds inhibit cooling. Nonetheless, most areas will be
below zero tonight into Friday morning, with sheltered mountain
valleys 10 to 25 degrees below zero. Valley temperatures on Friday
will struggle to make it out of the single digits, with abundant
snow pack on the ground and possible low clouds and stratus in a
developing inversion.

LONG TERM...Friday night through Wednesday...Cold air will
start a slow retreat on Saturday as a moist and mild Pacific air
mass pushes into area on strengthening southwest flow. The first
wave of precipitation moves into southeast Oregon Saturday and into
southwest Idaho by Saturday night. Temperatures will support snow
through Sunday morning at all elevations. Warming aloft Sunday into
Monday will gradually change snow to rain over southeast Oregon
and southwest Idaho highlands below 6k feet. The central Idaho
mountains will see snow levels rise to between 4-6k feet while
east-central Oregon could hold onto lower snow levels through
Monday. The lower Snake Plain will likely see snow mix with or
change to rain or freezing rain Sunday night, before going to rain
on Monday, though the details of that are likely to change. A
trough moves inland on Monday dropping temperatures and snow
levels. Active pattern continues into next week with lower valley
rains and mountain snow.
