.DISCUSSION...

* Central Idaho Dispatch Area weather impact summary (Zones 475
and 476)...

South to southwest upper flow continues over the region today
keeping temperatures warm with continued shower and storm chances
the next few days. Tonight and especially on Thursday, an
upper low is poised to move over the area and remain in place
through late week and into the weekend. This will bring a prolonged
period of cooler temperatures and daily precipitation chances.
Highest precip chances will be across the higher terrain areas but
can`t rule out valley precip either. As this low departs later in
the weekend, models try to bring another one into the Pacific NW
early next week but still a bit of uncertainty on the placement and
timing of this feature.
