SOUTHWEST IDAHO/SOUTHEAST OREGON AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BOISE IDAHO 300 PM MDT MON JUN 24 2002 HOT TEMPERATURES THE MAIN STORY WITH A STRONG UPPER RIDGE EAST OF THE CWFA AND BUILDING SURFACE HEAT TROUGH. WEAK SOUTHWEST FLOW HAS A FEW EMBEDDED SHORT WAVES AND THERE IS CONSIDERABLE SURFACE MOISTURE STILL AVAILABLE - ESPECIALLY IN THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWFA. THUS...CANNOT RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE MOUNTAINS THROUGH THURSDAY. TONIGHT...THERE IS A BIT OF SHEAR AND BETTER MOISTURE IN THE MAGIC VALLEY...SO SOME OF THE STORMS MAY PERSIST A BIT LONGER THAN USUAL AND INTO THE VALLEYS...BUT ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY JUST EXPECT ISOLATED MOUNTAIN PULSE-TYPE THUNDERSTORMS WITH LITTLE ORGANIZATION. ON THURSDAY...WESTERLY FLOW ENCROACHES FROM THE WEST BRINGING SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES AND THIS MAY ALSO HELP TO FOCUS CONVECTION IN THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS...BUT STILL ONLY CHANCE POPS. IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD...WEAK SOUTHWEST FLOW CONTINUES...WITH A LITTLE BIT OF MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY EVIDENT. WILL KEEP A SLIGHT CHANCE OF MOUNTAIN THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE PERIOD. A SLIGHT COOLING TREND IS ALSO ON TAP...ESPECIALLY TOWARD SUNDAY/MONDAY AS THE TROUGH ALONG THE WEST COAST PUSHES EVER SO SLOWLY FURTHER EAST. BARKER. .BOI...NONE.
