268 FXUS65 KBOI 141034 AFDBOI Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Boise ID 334 AM MST Fri Nov 14 2025 .SHORT TERM...Today through Sunday night...An upper level trough is splitting off from the parent flow into southern CA later today. The northern portion of the system is bringing scattered showers to the area this morning. Showers will taper off later this morning with clearing by the afternoon, as the main jet stream lifts northward and the cutoff low remains near southern CA. Temperatures will remain mild with highs around 10-15 degrees above normal through Saturday. Temperatures in the Snake Plain will be in the low to mid 60s today and again on Saturday. The upper level trough over southern CA will move northward into the Great Basin on Sunday, with showers likely by Sunday afternoon. Snow levels remain around 7000-8000` with this system. .LONG TERM...Monday through Friday...Forecast confidence is low in the extended period. Quite a change in the extended period with the models from previous runs. The latest projections weaken the trough over the Great Basin and bring another system down the West Coast into another cutoff low off the CA coast by Tuesday and Wednesday. This would bring drier and warmer conditions Tuesday through Thursday with upper level ridging over southwest ID and southeast OR. With this new solution, high temperatures could be 5-10 degrees warmer than the current forecast. && .AVIATION...Mostly VFR. LLWS this morning. Scattered rain showers, tapering off this afternoon.
