ZONAL FLOW THROUGH
SUNDAY WITH AN AMPLIFYING RIDGE TO OUR SOUTH. WHILE THE ZONAL
FLOW KEEPS WEATHER MOSTLY QUIET, THE RIDGE WILL CAUSE A WARMING
TREND THAT SHARPLY INCREASES MONDAY AS THE THE FLOW GAINS A
SOUTHWESTERLY COMPONENT. TEMPS WARM FROM ABOUT NORMAL ON
SATURDAY TO 10-15 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL BY MONDAY. THE RIDGE
AMPLIFIES AND BECOMES A FOUR-CORNERS HIGH, AND SUPPLEMENTED BY A
CLOSED LOW OFF THE SOCAL COAST WE'LL ENTER A TYPICAL MONSOONAL
SETUP, BRINGING ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO SOUTHEAST OREGON AND
FAR SOUTHWEST IDAHO ON MONDAY EVENING.
LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY
PEAK WARMING DURING THE
PERIOD ON TUESDAY AS THE RIDGE AXIS REMAINS FIXED OVER THE AREA,
WITH AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPS IN THE SNAKE PLAIN BEING NEAR TO A FEW
DEGREES ABOVE 100 DEGREES. THIS COMES AT THE SAME TIME AS PEAK
MONSOONAL MOISTURE ARRIVES AS THE SOCAL LOW MOVES INLAND,
BRINGING MORE THUNDERSTORMS TO MUCH OF SOUTHEASTERN AND EASTERN
OREGON, AND HIGHLANDS IN SOUTHWEST IDAHO. THE LOW BECOMES
EMBEDDED IN THE JET STREAM ON WEDNESDAY, BRINGING ANOTHER POCKET
OF MOISTURE THROUGH THE AREA AND DROPPING TEMPS SLIGHTLY TO 5-10
DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. WHILE THE HEAT IS HAZARDOUS ALONE, THE
INCLUSION OF THE ENCROACHING LOW AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES MAKE
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY POTENTIALLY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER DAYS.

LOW SITS NORTH OF THE AREA, SUPPORTING A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS
EACH AFTERNOON.
