NWS Pocatello, ID wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Nov 18, 10:28 AM MST, 2 hours 32 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pocatello ID 1028 AM MST Tue Nov 18 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - Showery weather continues throughout the week with low confidence in timing and amount for any location. - Cooler temperatures but still above climatic normals for the time of year through the period. && .SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Issued at 401 AM MST Tue Nov 18 2025 Satellite this morning shows a wide range of cloud heights and we continue to monitor for any fog formation and associated impacts. Two cutoff lows will shift further inland today, with one tracking along the US-CA border and the other southeast along the CA coast. While conditions will largely remain dry over Southeast Idaho, South/Southwest flow aloft today will advect weak moisture from the southern low and keep chances for high elevation showers in the forecast through the first part of the day today. Heading further into the afternoon and evening hours, models show moisture signals remaining further north and south of us. We will begin to see clouds scattering later today, allowing daytime highs to reach around 10 degrees above climatological norms, warming into the 50s across most of our valleys and 30s and 40s in the mountains and mid- elevations/mountain valleys, respectively. With less cloud cover overhead tonight, overnight lows will run several degrees cooler tonight with widespread 20s and 30s areawide. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Issued at 223 PM MST Mon Nov 17 2025 The extended portion of the forecast remains unsettled but also fairly low-impact as the upper flow aloft looks to remain split across our part of the country. Models show a couple of cutoff lows moving into California from mid week and into the weekend while most moisture stays clear of eastern Idaho. Still could see some isolated high elevation showers at some point but models seem to be going back and forth with this. Temperatures will remain on the warmer side of normal by around 5 degrees. This equates to upper 40s and low 50s for highs in the valleys but there is still a decent spread within the model guidance so things could still fluctuate a bit over the days ahead. Either way, not seeing any high impact systems between now and early next week. && .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY/... Issued at 1027 AM MST Tue Nov 18 2025 VFR conditions are expected to continue at all TAF sites today. We will see an increase in some FEW to SCT low clouds once again tonight, but impacts are expected to remain limited, if we see any at all. Winds will remain light today and tonight, too. Two areas of low pressure, one to our north and one to our south, will bring weak troughing through Eastern Idaho and some isolated showery activity, but any rain chance remains low enough to keep out of the TAFs for now. Intermittent rain showers are possible (~20% chance) at DIJ today and we've seen a few sprinkles there already. However, rain chances will increase for DIJ tomorrow afternoon, closer to 40 percent, so look for some VCSH or -SHRA to show up in later TAF issuances. VCSH already added to SUN for tomorrow afternoon for increasing rain chance there, too. && .PIH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && SHORT TERM...Cropp LONG TERM...McKaughan AVIATION...AMM
