Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boise ID
225 PM MDT Wed Aug 4 2021
.SHORT TERM...Tonight through Friday night...Thunderstorms this
evening working with a very hot airmass, and relatively dry lower
levels, so wind gust threat remains high through the evening. Low
off the CA coast approaches the area for Thursday. Quite a bit of
clouds over the area in the morning according to most models,
which may inhibit storm development early Thursday. But, increased
moisture, shear, and instability should overcome that by late
afternoon, and several models have impressive looking
thunderstorms over the area Thursday evening, as a cold front
moves through from the west, and continuing into early Friday as
the low moves overhead. Some of these storms could be severe. By
Friday afternoon, most of the storms should move into eastern ID,
with some cooler, northwest winds over much of southwest ID and
eastern OR.
.LONG TERM...Saturday through Wednesday...Dry westerly flow aloft
south of an upper level low pressure trough will keep skies mostly
clear over the weekend. Any showers associated with the trough are
expected to reach no farther south than the west central Idaho
mountains. The pattern becomes more uncertain starting Monday, but
models agree that the trough will keep temperatures a few degrees
below normal through Tuesday. Wednesday could be warmer, as some of
the ensembles are showing the flow shifting into the southwest as an
upper level high pressure ridge strengthens over the central Rockies
and four corners.
&&
.AVIATION...Generally VFR. Isolated thunderstorms ending in most
areas by 06z, but continuing overnight in the central Idaho
mountains and Baker Co. Oregon. Widespread showers and isolated
thunderstorms on Thursday. Wildfire smoke layers aloft reducing
visibility. Surface winds: variable 10 kts or less, except gusts 40-
50 kts possible near thunderstorms. Winds aloft at 10k feet MSL:
southwest 10-20 kts.
