NWS Pocatello, ID wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 14, 12:39 PM MST, 41 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE POCATELLO ID 139 PM MDT SUN JUN 14 2009 .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER WESTERN IDAHO CONTINUES TO GENERATE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE ENTIRE STATE. THESE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SMALL HAIL...GUSTY WINDS ALONG WITH HEAVY DOWNPOURS. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE HIGH COUNTRY WHERE BURN AREAS AND SMALL STREAMS REMAIN SUSCEPTIBLE TO FLOODING. THE ENVIRONMENT ALSO SUPPORTS WEAK ROTATION SO REPORTS OF WALL CLOUDS AND EVEN FUNNEL CLOUDS HAVE NOT BEEN UNCOMMON. HOWEVER...ODDS OF FORMING ACTUAL TORNADO LOOK PRETTY SLIM BECAUSE INSTABILITY IS NOT OVERLY IMPRESSIVE. THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE OVER EASTERN IDAHO TOMORROW. MODELS SHOW SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR MOVING INTO THE REGION TOMORROW. ENOUGH THAT THUNDERSTORMS MAY REMAIN SCATTERED OVER THE SNAKE PLAIN BUT STILL NUMEROUS OVER THE HIGH COUNTRY. CHANCES DIMINISH A LITTLE MORE ON TUESDAY AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES AWAY FROM THE REGION. ALTHOUGH THERE WILL BE ENOUGH MOISTURE AROUND TO TRIGGER SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY IN THE HIGH COUNTRY ON TUESDAY. .LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. A SPLIT FLOW SYSTEM CROSSES THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY...WITH THE NORTHERN STREAM AFFECTING EASTERN IDAHO. THIS SYSTEM WILL FINALLY CLEAR THE FORECAST AREA LATER ON THURSDAY. THE MODELS ARE TRENDING TOWARD A CLEAN BREAK FOR THE MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS/STORMS ON FRIDAY AS A RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. AFTER THIS...THE PICTURE BECOMES A LITTLE LESS CLEAR...ALTHOUGH FOR TODAY THE MODELS ARE TRENDING TOWARD AN OVERALL TROF ALONG/OFF THE WEST COAST AND SOUTHWEST FLOW ACROSS OUR AREA. THIS WOULD OPEN THE DOOR AGAIN FOR MOISTURE TO STREAM ACROSS EASTERN IDAHO AND THE INCREASED CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS. THIS TREND HAS BEEN LESS CLEAR THE PAST DAY OR SO. THE GRIDDED FORECASTS ALREADY HAS SOME INCREASE TOWARD THE END OF THE PERIOD DUE TO UNCERTAINTY AND USING CLIMO TO JUST ABOVE CLIMO POPS. KEYES && .AVIATION...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. HEAVIER SHOWERS AND STORMS COULD DROP VIS AND CIGS BELOW VFR...POSSIBLY INTO IFR AT TIMES. KEYES && .FIRE WEATHER...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM POSITIONED OVER THE NORTHERN SIERRA THIS MORNING WILL CONTINUE TO MIGRATE NE INTO SRN IDAHO THIS AFTERNOON PROMOTING NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. SOME STORMS MAY PRODUCE HEAVY RAIN. WET AND UNSTABLE CONDITIONS CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS ADDITIONAL PACIFIC DISTURBANCES ADVANCE INTO THE WRN STATES. HUSTON && .PIH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH LATE TONIGHT FOR IDZ018-019-022>025- 031-032. &&
