NWS Pocatello, ID wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 22, 12:57 PM MST, 4 hours 3 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pocatello ID 157 PM MDT Thu Jun 22 2017 .DISCUSSION....High pressure and northwest flow over the area will produce cool temperatures into the weekend. The high will move off to the east on Sunday, allowing warmer temperatures to return. Temperatures in the 90s for portions of the Magic Valley and Snake Plain are possible early next week. Some moisture will return to the region as well and a few isolated to scattered thunderstorms will be possible. Valle && .AVIATION...Expect clear skies through Friday with winds continuing to diminish with northerly winds at IDA...PIH and BYI by Friday morning. GK && .FIRE WEATHER...Dry and cooler conditions will continue through Saturday before another big warmup commences Sunday into Monday. The next best chance for thunderstorms will be Monday into Tuesday but it still looks mainly dry. Minimum humidities will trend in the under 20 percent range through Monday but the stronger winds aren't expected until Tuesday. It looks like another cooling trend Tuesday through much of next week as another cold front moves through the region. GK && .HYDROLOGY...Streams and rivers across the central Idaho mountains and upper Snake highlands are experiencing some flooding from warm weather over the past few days. An additional 1,500 cfs was released from Palisades this afternoon. This should keep water levels just below flood stage on the Snake River at Heise. Cooler weather is likely through the weekend, which will allow the rivers to subside. Warmer weather is likely once again early next week and a return to flooding is possible then. Valle && .PIH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. &&
