AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE POCATELLO ID 1014 AM MDT TUE JUN 13 2006 .DISCUSSION...NEAR TERM FORECAST...TODAY THROUGH THU. FORECAST ON TRACK FOR TODAY...SO NO UPDATES PLANNED. FOR EASTERN ID...SEVERE WEATHER THREAT REMAINS OVER CUSTER COUNTY PER SPC OUTLOOK FOR THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. SEE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION BELOW... WAW UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE FRONT STILL ON TRACK FOR TONIGHT AS IT HAS BEEN FOR SEVERAL DAYS. SPC HAS PLACED CENTRAL ID MTS IN A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE TSRAGS WITH UPPER LEVEL SPEED MAX...STRONG DESTABILIZATION OF THE ATMOSPHERE AS COLD TROUGH ROTATES THROUGH...AND A FAVORABLE HELICITY WITH MANY FORECAST SOUNDINGS HAVING STRONG VEERING WITH HEIGHT. ADD THE LEFT FRONT QUAD OF THE JET THIS EVENING OVERHEAD AND IT ALL ADDS UP TO A SIGNIFICANT STORM FOR TONIGHT. THINK MAIN PHENOMENA WILL BE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS IN THE CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW. SITUATION SHOULD LAST INTO THE MORNING HOURS OF WEDNESDAY. AFTER WED MORNING...UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING DEAMPLIFIES AND ZONAL WESTERLY FLOW BEGINS TO DEVELOP ON THE WEST COAST. SO UNSETTLED...CONVECTIVE WEATHER WILL CONTINUE BUT -TSRA SHOULD NOT BE AS STRONG. .EXTENDED PERIOD...THU NIGHT THROUGH NEXT TUE NIGHT. UPPER LEVEL ZONAL FLOW EVEN DURING THE LATE SPRING MAKES FOR A HIGH UNCERTAINTY FORECAST WHEN IT COMES TO TIMING. ZONAL FLOW SHOULD MAKE FOR MORE NEAR SEASONAL TEMPERATURES AND THIS IS BROUGHT OUT IN THE GFS/LR MOS GUIDANCE WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 70S. BOTH ECMWF AND GFS TEND TO KEEP THE JET STREAM OVER THE GEM STATE...SO EXPECT OCCASIONAL WINDY CONDITIONS...PERHAPS EVEN WIND ADVISORY LEVEL. WITH THE ZONAL UPPER LEVEL FLOW...MUCH OF THE PRECIP IS KEPT IN HIGHER ELEVATIONS SURROUNDING THE SNAKE RIVER PLAIN AND EASTERN MAGIC VALLEY WITH OROGRAPHICS HAVING THE BIGGEST INFLUENCE. EVEN WITH THAT...PRECIP CHANCES REACH INTO ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE/LOW CHANCE CATEGORY EVEN IN THE MOUNTAINS. MESSICK && .AVIATION...VFR THROUGH 00Z. ADVANCING SURFACE COLD FRONT COUPLED WITH 90KT SOUTHERLY JET AT 30K MSL WILL HELP SUPPORT ORGANIZED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT FROM 00-06Z THIS EVENING ADVANCING FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. SHEAR IS STRONG ENOUGH TO PROMOTE ISOLATED SEVERE CELLS MAINLY NEAR KSUN/KSNT ALTHOUGH LACK OF STRONGLY BUOYANT AIRMASS AND MOISTURE MAY PROVE TO BE INHIBITING FACTORS IN THUNDERSTORM STRENGTH FURTHER SOUTH WITHIN THE SNAKE PLAINS. NEAR MVFR CONDITIONS 06-12Z AS AIRMASS MOISTENS BEHIND FRONTAL PASSAGE. HUSTON && PIH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. &&
