142 FXUS65 KPIH 101722 AFDPIH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pocatello ID 1022 AM MST Mon Nov 10 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - Dry and warmer conditions through Wednesday - Pockets of fog and stratus through midweek - Precipitation returns as early as Thursday && .SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/... Issued at 147 AM MST Mon Nov 10 2025 High pressure weakens slightly today and Tuesday over southeast Idaho with a weak wave passing over northern Idaho and Montana. Expect partly cloudy conditions by this afternoon and continuing into Tuesday. Winds this afternoon and Tuesday will increase slightly in the afternoon with gusts of around 15 to 20 mph, mainly in the Snake River plain and ridge tops. There could be a return of some patchy fog this morning but fog will be less likely until Wednesday morning. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... Issued at 1132 AM MST Sun Nov 9 2025 We stay dry through Wednesday night based on the latest trends. We would expect more pockets of fog and low clouds Tuesday night as high pressure holds in place. Temperatures remain warm through at least Thursday with more 60s expected for afternoon highs. Current trends have held with some potential for precipitation by Thursday and continuing into next weekend. There might a little more evidence in the models and ensembles of the next overall low to come across Idaho in multiple rounds vs a more consolidated push heading into the weekend. This lends itself to the idea of the first round coming Thursday instead of holding off until Friday or Saturday. Once the next storm and pattern change happens, we will be right back to seeing highs in the 40s down low. && .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY/... Issued at 1021 AM MST Mon Nov 10 2025 Ridge of high pressure keeps East Idaho terminals dry with VFR high clouds in place through the forecast period. Other than a slight uptick in winds to 10-12kts at PIH and IDA this afternoon, winds remain light and variable. && .PIH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && $$ SHORT TERM...TW LONG TERM...Keyes AVIATION...DMH
