DISCUSSION
AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH AND COLD
FRONT WILL BRING A SIGNIFICANT PATTERN SHIFT TO THE BUTLER MEADOW
RX SITE TODAY AND SATURDAY. FOR FRIDAY, EXPECT MUCH COOLER
CONDITIONS WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES ONLY REACHING AROUND 71°F AND
MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY REMAINING HIGH AT 52%. A WEAK COLD FRONT
WILL CROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON, BRINGING A CHANCE OF LIGHT
RAIN OR DRIZZLE AFTER 1300 PDT. HOWEVER, RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE
LIGHT, AND THE OVERALL CHANCE OF A WETTING RAIN (GREATER THAN 0.10
INCHES) IS LOW. WINDS TODAY WILL REMAIN LIGHT, FOLLOWING THE
LOCAL TERRAIN AND THE SALMON RIVER / BUTLER CREEK DRAINAGE WITH A
WEST-NORTHWEST DIRECTION AROUND 6 TO 8 MPH IN THE AFTERNOON.
TRANSPORT WINDS WILL BE AROUND 12 MPH WITH MIXING HEIGHTS PEAKING
NEAR OR A LITTLE ABOVE 3,000 FEET.
ON SATURDAY, THE CORE OF THE COLD UPPER LOW MOVES CLOSER TO THE
REGION. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP EVEN FURTHER, WITH HIGHS ONLY
REACHING THE UPPER 60S. RELATIVE HUMIDITY WILL BE LOWER SATURDAY
AFTERNOON, DROPPING TO AROUND 37-44%. AS THE COLD FRONT PASSES,
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN, CAUSING WEST-NORTHWEST
SURFACE WINDS TO INCREASE TO 10 TO 13 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 21 MPH
DRAWING THROUGH THE RIVER CANYON. TRANSPORT WINDS WILL ALSO
INCREASE UP TO 12 MPH OR A BIT HIGHER, AND MIXING HEIGHTS WILL
LIFT TO AROUND 4,600 FEET. ADDITIONALLY, COLD AIR ALOFT WILL
CREATE UNSTABLE CONDITIONS, INTRODUCING A 10% CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE LOCAL MOUNTAINS SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
WARMER AND DRIER CONDITIONS RETURN EARLY NEXT WEEK AS HIGH
PRESSURE REBUILDS.
