250 PM MDT WED AUG 27 2025
SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT
A VERY MOIST AIRMASS REMAINS OVER THE FORECAST AREA BUT DRIER
AIR IS STARTING TO MAKE IT'S WAY INTO EASTERN OREGON.
THUNDERSTORMS ARE DEVELOPING AGAIN WITH DAYTIME HEATING AND
INCREASED ATMOSPHERIC INSTABILITY. GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY
RAIN IS ACROSS SW IDAHO AND WILL LET THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH
CONTINUE FOR IDAHO ZONES INTO THIS EVENING. LESS STORM COVERAGE
AND INCREASED STORM MOTION HAS DIMINISHED THE FLASH FLOOD THREAT
ENOUGH ACROSS EASTERN OREGON TO CANCEL THE WATCH FOR THAT AREA.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DIMINISH TONIGHT AS AN ELONGATED
SHORTWAVE TROUGH AXIS EXTENDING FROM THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS WEST
ALONG THE OR/WA BORDER LIFTS NORTH. STILL A CHANCE (20-30%) OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY ALONG THE NEVADA
BORDER AS AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE AREA. OTHERWISE,
DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AND TEMPERATURES WILL TREND UP TO
AROUND SEASONAL NORMALS.
LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY
A BROAD UPPER RIDGE OVER
THE SOUTHWEST UNITED STATES WILL BUILD NORTH OVER IDAHO SATURDAY
THROUGH MONDAY, BRINGING A SLIGHT WARMING TREND OVER THE WEEKEND.
LOWER VALLEY DAYTIME HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE UPPER 80S AND
LOWER 90S THROUGHOUT THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD. THERE IS BETTER
LONG-RANGE GUIDANCE AGREEMENT ON AN UPPER LOW OFF THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST COAST TAKING AN ODD WOBBLING AND QUASI-STATIONARY
BEHAVIOR. THE SYSTEM IS PROJECTED TO STALL OFF THE COAST OF BRITISH
COLUMBIA AND WASHINGTON. FOR NOW, A CHANCE(20-30%) OF
AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS REMAINS IN THE FORECAST FOR
EASTERN FRINGES OF THE FORECAST AREA AND ALONG THE NEVADA BORDER.
OTHERWISE DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL.
