SHORT TERM
Today through Monday night...An inversion remains in place through Saturday evening before a cold front moves through the area. Fog and stratus will remain in the Snake Basin into Saturday afternoon up until the cold front arrives. With cold air entrenched in the Treasure Valley, surface temperatures in the Treasure Valley are expected to be at or below freezing as precipitation moves in. However, temperatures aloft will be near or slightly above freezing, resulting in a wintry mix of snow and freezing rain possible. The highest confidence in freezing rain potential (in addition to light snow potential) is in the Lower Treasure Valley and northern portions of Malheur County.
The winter weather advisory remains in effect for these areas on Saturday night. In the mountains, snow amounts of 1-3 inches are expected Saturday night. As the cold front moves through, the inversion should scour out, cleaning the air. Snow showers continue over the mountains into Monday, with light accumulations. Low clouds and stratus linger after the system moves through with areas of fog redeveloping on Monday morning.
Dry and cool conditions on Monday with areas of fog.
LONG TERM
Tuesday through Saturday...Northerly flow weakens as an upper ridge moves overhead Tuesday and Wednesday. Valley fog is possible Tuesday morning with max RHs near saturation, but drying on Wednesday doesn't favor redevelopment the following morning. The ridge will be short lived as a series of storms is expected to track through the area beginning Thursday. There is some model disagreement on the timing and strength of these systems, but the overall trend favors cool and active weather. The ECMWF Extreme Forecast Index and shift of tails remain very low during the beginning of this pretty significant active pattern, suggesting storms are unlikely to be unusually extreme favoring more typical winter weather. Valleys would see rain and snow with less than an inch accumulation while mountains see light to moderate snowfall. Temperatures near normal.
AVIATION
LIFR and local VLIFR in fog and low stratus will persist through Saturday across lower elevations, mostly in the Snake Plain west of KTWF/KJER. Fog and stratus will also impact mtn valleys through Saturday morning. Conditions should improve to MVFR Saturday afternoon as clouds lift. Wintry mix of snow, freezing rain, and snow Saturday night. Surface winds: variable less than 5 kt. Winds aloft at 10kft MSL: NW 10-15 kt.
KBOI...LIFR in fog/low stratus. Ceilings and visibility expected to lift to mainly MVFR Saturday afternoon with an approaching system. A light wintry mix of snow and freezing rain possible Saturday night. Winds will remain light and variable less than 5 kt, becoming east or southeast 4-8 kt Saturday.
Sunday Outlook...Conditions will likely improve to VFR in valleys on Sunday as fog/stratus dissipates. Mountains will keep local IFR in scattered snow showers.
