Area forecast discussion, Jun 19, 2:13 PM MDT, 7 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pocatello ID 213 PM MDT Mon Jun 19 2017 .DISCUSSION...Tuesday could be the warmest day of the year so far for some. Some monsoonal moisture will be working into the region. Expect isolated thunderstorms to develop on Tuesday. Areas that won't see clouds/warm have the potential of warming into the mid 90s. A cold front arrives on Wednesday. Most of the thunderstorm activity will be suppressed into Utah but the southern highlands could still see an isolated thunderstorm. Northwest flow and cooler temperatures arrive for late week and the weekend. Valle && .AVIATION...High pressure will continue today bringing VFR conditions and overall light winds. Expect VFR conditions tomorrow though there is a chance of afternoon/early evening showers and thunderstorms. Also, expect breezy winds tomorrow particularly in the afternoon. Wyatt && .FIRE WEATHER...High pressure will continue a warming and drying trend for today and tomorrow, with tomorrow, Tuesday, being the warmest day of the next seven days. Monsoonal moisture makes its way into the area tomorrow. Expect isolated showers and thunderstorms tomorrow in the afternoon/early evening. Wednesday there is a slight chance of thunderstorms as well, mainly for our Southern areas. Winds will be breezy Tuesday and breezy to moderate on Wednesday as the high pressure ridging breaks down and the upper level flow becomes more zonal. The upper level flow will become more Northwesterly Thursday and Friday dropping temperatures to near climate averages. Expect a weak system to graze our Northeast borders late Friday into Saturday morning. Wyatt && .HYDROLOGY...Flooding continues for portions of the central Idaho mountains and upper Snake highlands. Hot weather is likely for Tuesday which will help accelerate snowmelt. So, we are expecting rises on area rivers and streams. However we think those rises will be short-lived as cooler temps are forecast for late week. Any thunderstorms we get on Tuesday are likely to be dry storms. Valle && .PIH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. &&
