SHORT TERM
Today through Thursday night...The upper ridge that has been supporting the warm and dry conditions of late will continue for one more day. Although the ridge will weaken on Wednesday, the temperatures will remain warm - even a couple degrees warmer in some locations. High temperatures will be near records at a couple locations, including Baker City which set a record high of 74F yesterday. Boise will within a couple degrees of the record (74F) on Wednesday. The short wave trough that suppresses the ridge late Wednesday will move across the northern areas for a 30-60 percent chance of late day showers across Baker County to the West Central ID mountains. There is also just enough instability for a slight chance (less than 25 percent) of thunderstorms. The showers may linger in the north near the exiting trough on Thursday, but there is not enough instability to support thunderstorms. Temperatures cool 5-10 degrees on Thursday as the flow transitions to northwesterly.
Breezy to locally windy west-northwest winds develop on Thursday, mainly east of Mountain Home.
LONG TERM
Friday through Tuesday...An active pattern will develop during the extended period. On Friday, a large upper level trough will approach the coast while an upper level ridge overhead shifts east, placing our area in mild southwest flow aloft. Temperatures will be 10-15 degrees above normal, with lower valleys approaching 70 degrees. Winds will be breezy as the system approaches with chances of precipitation increasing late in the day. A shortwave trough and cold front will move through Friday night and Saturday, bringing a 60-80% chance of rain in the valleys and a 80-100% chance of rain and snow in the mountains. Temperatures will cool around 10 degrees from Friday with snow levels lowering to 5000-6000 feet. Light to moderate snow accumulations are expected on higher peaks. Winds will be breezy on Saturday behind the cold front.
The large upper level trough will slowly move across the western US Sunday through Tuesday. Shortwave troughs embedded within the flow will keep temperatures several degrees below normal with periods of rain and snow. Snow levels will fluctuate around 3000-4500 feet through the period with additional light to moderate snow accumulations in the mountains. Cold air aloft will allow weak instability to develop each afternoon, with a low (less than 10%) chance of thunderstorms Saturday through Tuesday. Winds will remain breezy through the period, strongest each afternoon.
AVIATION
VFR. A few high clouds across the area. Surface winds: variable less than 10 kt. Winds aloft: W-NW 5-15 kt.
