.DISCUSSION...Moisture wrapping around a mid-level ow centered
over eastern Idaho will deliver widespread rain and high
elevation snow in central Idaho (east of McCall and Idaho City)
this morning. The widespread precip will end by early afternoon
as the low moves further away to the east. However, lingering
moisture combined with daytime heating will promote scattered
showers and isolated thunderstorms - mainly over the higher
elevations - this afternoon. Temperatures remain below normal
and winds will be breezy - especially in s-central Idaho. No
updates.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR/MVFR. Periods of lowered ceilings, especially
in precipitation, possible. Scattered showers to persist through
the morning into the afternoon. Isolated to scattered
thunderstorms, primarily along NV border and the west-central
mountains, to develop from 17z until 00z Monday. Thunderstorms
may contain small hail and graupel. Widespread mountain
obscuration from showers/thunderstorms. Snow Levels: 6000-7500
ft. Surface winds: W-NW 5-15 kt, with gusts 20-25 kts from KMUO
through Western Magic Valley through afternoon. Winds aloft at
10kft MSL: W-NW 5-15 kt.

KBOI...VFR. Showers possible (10-20% through afternoon) over
terminal. Surface winds: W-NW 5-15 kt gusting up to 20 kts
during the afternoon.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
SHORT TERM...Today through Tuesday night...A cold-core upper-
level low centered over southwest Idaho this morning will track
east-northeast into Montana and Wyoming by late afternoon.
Scattered showers have already developed across southeast
Oregon, the West Central Mountains, and the Boise Mountains, and
will persist through the day. Snow levels have dropped to
around 6500 feet MSL across the northern mountain zones, with
snow possible down to 6000 feet this morning. However,
accumulations will be limited to elevations above 7000 feet,
where up to 2 inches of snow is possible - mainly in Valley
County.

Additional convective showers and isolated thunderstorms are
expected to redevelop this afternoon. The strongest cells may
produce small hail or graupel. Temperatures will warm slightly
compared to Saturday, but breezy northwesterly winds will
persist, keeping valley highs 10 to 15 degrees below normal.

Conditions will dry out on Monday as the upper low exits the
region, though a broad upper-level trough will remain overhead.
Temperatures will remain below normal, generally about 5 degrees
below average. A return to near-seasonal temperatures is
expected on Tuesday as weak ridging builds over the area ahead
of the next upper-level trough approaching the West Coast.

LONG TERM...Wednesday through Sunday...Short-lived upper-level
ridging will be moving out midday Wednesday, but not before
bringing temps 5-10 degrees above normal. In its wake, another
upper-level trough will be moving through the Northwest U.S.
through Saturday. Consensus from model clustering, historic
deterministic models, and current deterministic models point to
synoptic scale forcing for ascent remaining to the north of our
CWA. Some hints at precipitation (and perhaps thunderstorms)
exist in central Idaho, but chances remain low at this time and
are confined to Valley county for our zones. The greatest
chances for precipitation (10- 15%) will be afternoon and
evening of Thursday and Friday. Temperatures will be near normal
during this stretch. Beginning late Saturday into Sunday, there
is good consensus that upper-level ridging will move in,
bringing warmer temps (5-10 degrees above normal) again.
