Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pocatello ID
933 PM MDT Sat Jul 15 2017

.DISCUSSION...Quick update this eve to expire Red Flag Warnings,
see section below. A slow moving ill-defined front will move into
the region tonight. This system will work with the monsoonal
moisture over the region to develop scattered thunderstorms this
afternoon. These storms will persist into the evening and perhaps
even linger through the overnight hours. Models showing quite a bit
of cloud cover on Sunday which may help to keep temps a few degree
cooler. Otherwise isolated thunderstorms will once again be possible
on Sunday and Monday as the front stalls over southeast Idaho. Best
chances for isolated storms will be across the Snake Plain and
eastern highlands. Drier air will work into the region for Tuesday
and Wednesday, but it looks like monsoonal moisture could return to
the region by the end of the week. Valle
