The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Pocatello, ID wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Apr 9, 2:46 AM MST, 2 hours 14 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pocatello ID 346 AM MDT Sun Apr 9 2023 .SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT... A building ridge of high pressure will continue to support dry conditions and a warming trend, with highs breaking into the 60s today and upper 60s/lower 70s Mon across the ern Magic Valley and Raft River region east to Pocatello. Deterministic NBM temps continue to run at or below the 25th percentile, so have been using the previous day's actual highs and the 50th percentile to nudge the forecast warmer each day in some areas. Ripening of the snowpack, increased runoff, and localized flooding will continue. Winds will also start to increase Mon afternoon/eve ahead of our next system, especially across the Central Mntns and MT border. 01 .LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY... Deterministic models are in fair agreement with the upper trough working into the PAC NW Tuesday. We may be dealing with this trough through Friday as a series of shortwaves rotate through the region. Temperatures will start off warm on Tuesday and cool off through Friday as these waves work through. A strong mid-level jet is seen in the GFS forecast over the Central Mountains Tuesday with ridgetop winds seeing gusts to 50+ mph. Snow levels will drop across the Stanley Basin Tuesday night, and stay above 8500 ft across the Southeastern Highlands through Wednesday morning. A final push of colder air will bring snow levels down further Wednesday. Operational GFS is indicating a heavy precip band associated with frontogenetical forcing along the Southeastern Highlands Wednesday night, though the ECMWF is less intense and further south with the band. Might be something to keep an eye on as the week progresses. Heading into the weekend, ensemble clusters generally favor ridging building back into the area. This is reflected in the deterministic models as well with temperatures warming once again. Hinsberger && .AVIATION... Subsidence under upper ridging should keep things quiet through the period. HREF is indicating potential for fog/stratus at PIH, IDA and BYI, but NBM and other statistical guidance strongly favor VFR conditions. Winds should stay 10 kts or less throughout the next 24 hours. Hinsberger && .HYDROLOGY... A warming trend will continue through Tue with highs Mon/Tue reaching the mid 50s in mntn valleys to near 70 in the ern Magic Valley, Raft River region, and lower Snake Plain. Overnight lows Tue AM may not fall below freezing across nearly the entire CWA. Ripening of the snowpack regionwide, along with increased melting and runoff, and localized flooding, are expected. The Portneuf River at Pocatello is forecast to rise to near action stage Wed or Thu. Refer to our Hydrologic Outlook (ESF) for additional details and suggested preparedness actions. 01 && .PIH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. &&
