.SHORT TERM...Today through Wednesday night...An upper wave
moving onto the BC coast this morning will track along the
US/Canada border, suppressing the ridge currently over the
Intermountain NW. While it won`t bring precipitation to our area
it will weaken the temperature inversion on Tuesday resulting
in some extra warming at lower elevations and cooling in the
mtns. Wednesday will see an increase in southwest flow aloft as
a deeper trough approaches the West Coast. Surface winds will
pickup in response which should improve mixing. Wednesday will
be the warmest day for most locations as highs reach 10-15
degrees above normal, though we will see periods of high clouds
through the day. A 15-30% chance of showers creeps into SE
Oregon and the w-central Idaho mtns Wednesday night as the
trough pushes onshore. Snow levels are 8-9kft MSL as the
precipitation gets started.

.LONG TERM...Thursday through Monday...Thursday will kick off a
period of active weather that continues through into next week.
The initial trough will track across the region bringing 60%+
precipitation chances to most sites through Friday morning.
Lower elevations see up to 0.20" with 0.25-0.50" amounts in the
mtns. Snow levels will steadily drop to between 4500-6000 feet
MSL (west to east respectively) allowing for accumulations of 2
to 5 inches above 6000 feet MSL. The weekend is looking cool
and unsettled as upstream troughing moves through region. Timing
of these systems remains uncertain, but generally valleys will
maintain a 20-40% chance of rain while mtns hold onto a 40-60%
chance of rain/snow through Monday. Snow levels Friday night/Sat
drop to between 4-5kft MSL and minor accumulations (up to 2")
are possible down to mtn valley floors. Friday and Saturday are
the coolest days with highs near normal.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR under high clouds. Surface winds: less than 10
kt. Winds at 10kft MSL: W-SW 15-25 kt.

KBOI...VFR. Surface winds less than 10 kt.

&&

.AIR STAGNATION...A temperature inversion will keep mixing
heights below 2kft today across, areas around the northern NV
border an exception. With light surface winds this will bring
another day of stagnant conditions. Tuesday will see some
improvement in the wake of a passing upper trough that cools
temperatures aloft. Wednesday will add stronger surface winds
and Thursday will see improvement across all zones with the
arrival of a cold front bringing breezy winds and rain.
