NWS Pocatello, ID wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 16, 12:49 PM MST, 27 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pocatello ID 149 PM MDT Mon Jul 16 2018 .DISCUSSION...The low pressure disturbance over Oregon will slowly cross southern Idaho tonight through early Tuesday morning. Showers and thunderstorms are moving into the central mountains this afternoon with the southern end of this disturbance trailing back into Owyhee County. There will be some instability left over in the Upper snake Highlands Tuesday with potential for isolated afternoon thunderstorms. The rest of the week looks mostly dry under westerly flow pattern. A broad area of moist air will remain just south of the state and there is the possibility some of that air could slip into southern Idaho and bring some thunderstorm activity with it. Valley temperatures should be in the lower to middle 90s through next weekend. RS && .AVIATION...VFR conditions should prevail, though some strong thunderstorms today could bring locally heavy rain. This could reduce visibility temporarily. Gusty outflow winds associated with the storms are also likely late this afternoon into the evening. Most of the storms will move through late tonight with much drier weather expected tomorrow. Hinsberger && .FIRE WEATHER...Focus will be on convective development throughout the afternoon and evening. Besides lightning, the storms will likely produce very strong outflow winds and locally heavy rainfall. Coverage of storms will be isolated to widely scattered this evening. While much of the area could see some rainfall from the storms, dry lightning remains a possibility as well. Coupled with outflow winds and receptive fuels, lightning-ignited fires will likely spread rapidly. Convective activity should move east out of the area late tonight/early tomorrow morning. Dry and stable conditions should take us through the rest of the week and into the weekend. Hinsberger && .PIH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...None. &&
