AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE POCATELLO ID 217 PM MDT TUE JUL 2 2013 .SHORT TERM...THE CENTER OF THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE IS LOCATED NEAR THE EXTREME SOUTHWEST CORNER OF IDAHO THIS AFTERNOON. SATELLITE WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A DISTURBANCE IN SOUTHEAST OREGON ROTATING TOWARDS THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. IN THE MEANTIME...SURFACE HEATING IS LEADING TO INSTABILITY AND SOME CONVECTIVE CELLS JUST BEGINNING TO DEVELOP BETWEEN BLUE DOME AND CRATERS OF THE MOON. MID LEVEL STEERING WINDS MOSTLY NORTHERLY SO WHATEVER CELLS DEVELOP SHOULD TRACK DOWN TOWARDS RICH FIELD AREA. WEDNESDAY...SHORT WAVE PASSING THROUGH ALBERTA WITH ANOTHER ON THE HEELS APPROACHING BRITISH COLUMBIA WILL HELP FLATTEN THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE AND BRING TEMPERATURES DOWN 3 TO 5 DEGREES. WE CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE NAM MODEL AS IT HAS HANDLED THE CONVECTION UNDER THE RIDGE BETTER. BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON MUCH OF THE DEEPER MOISTURE SHOULD ROTATE INTO THE CARIBOU AND SOUTH CENTRAL HIGHLANDS SO AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WERE INCREASED IN THAT AREA. .LONG TERM...THURSDAY...THE STRONGER SHORT WAVE MOVING INTO BRITISH COLUMBIA WITH A LEADING SURFACE CO9COLD FRONT ACROSS THE PAN HANDLE GRADUALLY THROUGH FRIDAY BRINGS COLDER AIR SOUTHWARD. THE FRONT TRAILS INTO STANLEY AREA AROUND MID NIGHT THURSDAY NIGHT AND DRAGS EASTWARD ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA FRIDAY...ALTHOUGH MODELS DO NOT SUGGEST A LOT OF WINDS WITH THE FRONT. KEPT A CHANCE OF MOUNTAIN SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS IN BOTH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AND LOWERED VALLEY TEMPERATURES TO NEAR 90F. GFS IS MUCH QUICKER TO BRING DRIER AIR IN FROM THE WEST OVER THE ECMWF AND THAT TREND PERSISTS INTO NEXT WEEK. FOR NOW...MAINTAINED A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE MOUNTAINS EACH DAY AND TEMPERATURES NEAR 90F IN THE LOWER VALLEYS. RS && .AVIATION...LOOK FOR VICINITY THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING BECAUSE OF MONSOONAL MOISTURE AND HEATING. KSUN STANDS THE BEST CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ON STATION THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING. EXPECT GUSTY WINDS AND FREQUENT LIGHTING IN AND AROUND THUNDERSTORMS. LOOK FOR A BETTER CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON FOR ALL TAF SITES. WYATT && .FIRE WEATHER...MONSOONAL MOISTURE WORKING AROUND AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL PRODUCE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK. GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING ARE POSSIBLE NEAR STORMS. LOOK FOR BREEZY WINDS ON FRIDAY WITH AN ARRIVAL OF A WEAK COLD FRONT. ADDITIONALLY....EXPECT SLIGHTLY COOLER WEATHER FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WYATT/VALLE && .PIH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. &&
