.SHORT TERM...Tonight through Wednesday night...Cooler air aloft
associated with an upper level trough continues to fuel
scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms this afternoon.
Some showers may produce brief gusty winds up to 30 mph this
afternoon. Zonal flow continues into Tuesday with breezy
westerly winds continuing over the short term, strongest during
the afternoons. Scattered showers continue through Tuesday
morning, before tapering off across the Snake Basin and areas
south, with isolated showers lingering over the central ID
mountains through Wednesday morning. Temperatures will be
around 5 degrees above normal, before warming to around 10
degrees above normal by Wednesday with dry conditions.

.LONG TERM...Thursday through Monday...Thursday is the warmest day
as the region is positioned under broad southwest flow. This will
push temperatures to 15-20 degrees above normal, with a few sites
in the Snake Plain approaching records. An upper trough edges onto
the Pac NW coast on Friday introducing a low chance of showers
(20-30%) across Baker County and the w-central Idaho mtns. The
trough and accompanying cold front kick through the area Friday
night and Saturday, with showers mostly contained to the higher

over the Pac NW. Starting Friday temperatures will trend lower each

warming up slightly on Monday.
