What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this winter storm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Pocatello, ID wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter storm warning went out at Feb 24, 8:19 PM MST, 1 hour 22 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 24, 8:19 PM MST, 1 hour 22 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pocatello ID 819 PM MST Sat Feb 24 2018 .UPDATE... Downslope wind from the south has really dampened snow amounts along the 15 corridor from Pocatello to Idaho Falls. The 86/84 corridors are getting good snow w/ blowing/drifting. Also the south/eastern highlands as well. Will likely drop the advisories for the Magic Valley/Snake Plain and central Idaho mountains within the next couple of hours. Still watching a weak circulation around the Burley area combined with the fact that the wind in Pocatello has finally gone southwest, may still see some additional light snow. Valle && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 148 PM MST Sat Feb 24 2018/ SHORT TERM...Tonight through Monday night. Very active short term pattern ongoing. Pair of shortwaves continue to push through East Idaho. First still lingering with light snow over the southeast corner of the forecast area while second main shortwave still pushing into western border of state. Broad area of moisture associated with second wave pushing into central mountains and precipitation expected to continue or spread across most of the region remainder of the afternoon into early evening. Light orographic snows also still continuing in eastern highlands. Brief break in action occurring across upper Snake region between shortwaves per VIS/IR sat imagery, but should be short lived as next batch works across. Winds remain a concern as well this afternoon and evening with observations showing gusts 25-35 in many locations. Have kept blowing snow mention going. Second shortwave axis drives across the region 03z-09z, which should bring an end to much of the heavier snowfall, though is likely to persist at least lightly along WY border under favored NW flow. Will leave current advisory in place, though expect that it will likely be able to drop early most if not all areas. Next system works into central mountains mid to late afternoon Sunday, spreading across the region Sunday night through Monday. Bulk of snow falls in the central mountains Sunday night, and for the rest of the area Monday. Gusty winds again expected, and could be enough for another round of blowing/drifting. It is a close call as to whether or not to extend current advisory into second event given the short break between. However, given that this is truly a second event related to a different upper feature, will opt to use current headline only for this event and allow for second issuance to second event. Snow amounts and wind speeds not expected to be sufficient enough to warrant upgrade to a warning at this time. Trough axis for second event shifts across the region Monday night, so precip chances taper off overnight. DMH LONG TERM...Tuesday through next Saturday. Upper troughing will remain over the West with the GFS and ECMWF depicting a cutoff low over California Tuesday morning. Models begin to eject the upper low across the Desert Southwest while introducing a brief period of ridging over the PAC NW. As we head into Wednesday night, moisture begins to surge onshore once again ahead of a deep upper trough. GFS actually develops an upper low off the WA/OR coast around this time, but it rapidly fills in place of a deeper upper low coming in from the Gulf of Alaska. Onset of precip will generally be Wednesday night to Thursday morning over the Central Mountains, then spreading to the rest of the forecast area through Thursday afternoon. We should remain under a cyclonic flow aloft through the weekend, keeping slight chance to chance PoPs over most of the forecast area. Hinsberger AVIATION...A band of snow along Interstate 15 between KPIH and KIDA may cause some LIFR conditions at those terminals, but main area of snow should arrive around mid afternoon. The winds accompanying the snow will also increase chances for blowing and drifting. Should see snow ending late tonight, but blowing snow still a possibility with winds 15 to 20 kts during the overnight hours across the Snake Plain. Hinsberger && .PIH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
