Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boise ID
936 AM MST Fri Jan 6 2017

.DISCUSSION...Very cold wx will continue through Saturday
morning.  East winds will increase in southern Idaho tonight and
Saturday ahead of the next Pacific storm and another wind chill
warning will be issued for the Upper Treasure Valley and Western
Magic Valley.  A winter storm watch has already been issued for
Harney and Malheur Counties in Oregon for the Pacific storm and will
probably be expanded later today to include the rest of our CWA.
Models continue to advertize strong warming into Sunday with pcpn
becoming rain in southern valleys but we believe the models
have too much warming and start it too soon.  Current forecast
is on track for the moment.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR under mostly clear skies. Local MVFR and IFR
conditions in fog and low stratus through 19Z. Surface winds
generally 10 knots or less, except easterly 15-20 knots in the Snake
River Plain from KMUO to KJER/KTWF. Winds aloft westerly 5-15 knots
up through 10K feet MSL.

Weekend Outlook...Snow still on track to spread over southeast
Oregon Saturday morning and southwest Idaho Saturday afternoon. Snow
will be widespread over the forecast area by Saturday afternoon
along with IFR conditions and mountain obscuration. Snow levels will
slowly rise with sleet and freezing rain possible Sunday night into
Monday morning from KBNO east toward the Treasure and Magic Valleys.
A changeover to rain is expected in the Magic and Upper Treasure
Valleys with warm air aloft.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
SHORT TERM...Today through Saturday...Cold surface high will persist
over the area through Saturday as upper flow shifts to the west and
then southwest. Today is the coldest day with most sites staying
well below 20 degrees for afternoon highs and wind chills near or
below zero through the day. Expect the low stratus that has formed
over southeast Oregon and lower Treasure Valley of southwest Idaho
to erode this afternoon as dry air aloft works toward the surface.
Warming aloft begins Friday night as flow shifts to the west.
However the surface layer remains cold and with clear skies early in
the night, temperatures will again drop quickly, going below zero
for many sites. Combined with winds of 10 to 20 MPH in the Snake
Plain (especially east of Boise) wind chill values will reach 10 to
25 degrees below zero in the coldest spots. Clouds increase toward
Saturday morning as flow aloft transitions to the southwest.
Southeast Oregon will see light snow develop early Saturday morning,
shifting to southwest Idaho zones by afternoon. While the southwest
flow will bring warmer temperatures aloft, this first round of
precipitation will be all snow to the lowest valley floors.
Potential snow accumulations in Harney and Malheur counties is
enough to warrant a Winter Storm Watch starting midday Saturday.

LONG TERM...Saturday night through Thursday...Interesting
pattern and very difficult forecast shaping up for southern Idaho
and southeast Oregon. Light to moderate snow will continue into
Sunday before warmer temperatures aloft begin to move into the
region. With the arctic air in place, as well as the arctic air
infiltrating down the Snake Plain from eastern Idaho, believe it
will take longer than guidance indicates to warm, thus have kept
snow levels lower through Sunday night. GFS and ECMWF bring snow
levels to 5000-9000 feet on Monday, although the Canadian model
keeps wet bulb zero (snow levels) at the surface, generally north of
a line from Burns, OR to Ontario, OR. Do think sleet and freezing
rain will develop in the valley with this scenario on Monday and a
change over to rain is expected from Boise southeast to the Magic
Valley. By Monday afternoon, a cold front moves through the region
bringing snow levels back to the valley floors. Another warm front
moves into the region on Wednesday, with a complicated scenario
setting up once again on Wednesday. Freezing rain and sleet is again
possible Wednesday as this warm front brings warm air aloft.
Canadian model keeps wet bulb zero height near the surface once
again in the Treasure and Magic Valleys, which would keep snow at
most locations. A cold front moves through the region on Thursday
morning bringing snow levels back to the valley floors. Temperatures
will remain at or below normal through the extended period.
