Area forecast discussion, Jul 25, 3:00 AM MST, 10 hours 42 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE POCATELLO ID 400 AM MDT TUE JUL 25 2006 .DISCUSSION...A WEAK IMPULSE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE CENTRAL ID MOUNTAINS THIS MORNING WHICH MAY TRIGGER A FEW THUNDERSTORMS. OTHERWISE...NOT MUCH IS HAPPENING ASIDE FROM PATCHY MID/HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS DRIFTING OFF OF CONVECTION FROM THE SOUTH AND WEST. THIS AFTERNOON WE SHOULD SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. ON MONDAY THERE WERE SEVERAL AUTOMATED SFC OBS WHICH RECORDED WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 50 MPH FROM TSTMS. AIRMASS IS RELATIVELY THE SAME TODAY SO ADDED GUSTY WINDS TO THE FORECAST. COULD ALSO SEE STORMS DEVELOP OVER THE CENTRAL MTNS AND DRIFT ONTO THE SNAKE PLAIN BASED ON FLOW ALOFT. SO BEEFED UP POPS A LITTLE WHICH BRINGS AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDER TO ALL AREAS. THE FLOW ALOFT BEGINS TO TURN MORE NORTHWESTERLY WHICH BRINGS A MUCH DRIER AIRMASS INTO CENTRAL ID ON WED BUT SHOULD BE ENOUGH RESIDUAL MOISTURE OVER THE EASTERN HIGHLANDS FOR SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. IT LOOKS LIKE THURSDAY WILL BE RELATIVELY DRY WITH PW/S TOPPING OUT AT ABOUT A HALF INCH. BEYOND THU...FLOW TURNS BACK TOWARD THE SOUTHWEST AS TROUGH BEGINS TO DEEPEN ALONG THE WEST COAST. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR A RETURN OF MONSOONAL MOISTURE AND A MENTION OF SLIGHT CHANCE OF MAINLY MOUNTAIN THUNDERSTORMS. THERE IS SOME QUESTION AS TO THE STRENGTH OF THE TROUGH IN THE PACNW EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE GFS IS BRINGING A MUCH STRONGER SYSTEM INTO WASHINGTON WHILE THE ECMWF IS WEAKER AND HOLDS THE TROUGH FURTHER OFF THE COAST. THE GFS SOLUTION WOULD MEAN A STRONGER SOUTHWEST FLOW RESULTING IN MORE WIND AND COOLER TEMPS...WHILE THE ECMWF SOLUTION WOULD RESULT IN WARMER TEMPS AND LESS WIND. PREFER THE ECMWF AT THIS TIME SO CONTINUED WITH LOW THREAT OF MAINLY DAYTIME TSTMS AND TEMPS AT OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL. WAW && .AVIATION...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE OVER MUCH OF EASTERN IDAHO...BECOMING SCATTERED ALONG AND INTO UTAH AND WYOMING. MVFR CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR ASSOCIATED WITH CONVECTION MAINLY ALONG TWEB ROUTES 343 AND 344...AND GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS ARE POSSIBLE AS WELL OVER THE ENTIRE AREA. DMH && .PIH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. &&
