ISSUED 218 PM MDT SAT SEP 26 2026
YESTERDAY'S COLD FRONT MOVED RAPIDLY EASTWARD ACROSS OUR CWA BUT GOT
ONLY AS FAR SOUTH AS NORTHERN NEVADA WHERE IT HAS BECOME STATIONARY.
FROM THERE THE FRONTAL ZONE WILL NOW MOVE SLOWLY NORTHWARD AGAIN AS
A DIFFUSE WARM FRONT TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY UNDER SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW
ALOFT AHEAD OF THE NEXT INCOMING PACIFIC UPPER TROUGH. MIDDLE AND
HIGH CLOUDS WILL INCREASE FROM SOUTH TO NORTH TONIGHT AND LEAD TO A
10-20 PERCENT CHANCE OF SHOWERS ON SUNDAY. THERE WILL ALSO BE JUST
ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR A SLIGHT (10%) CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN
THE CENTRAL IDAHO MOUNTAINS SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.
THE INCOMING UPPER TROUGH WILL BECOME A CLOSED LOW IN NEVADA BY
MONDAY AND TAKE THE FRONTAL ZONE BACK OUT OF OUR AREA, RESULTING
IN CLEARING SKIES IN OREGON MONDAY AND IN IDAHO MONDAY NIGHT.
GRADUAL WARMING IS EXPECTED THROUGH TUESDAY, DUE TO CLOUDS AND
THE WARM FRONT TONIGHT AND SUNDAY, AND THE DEPARTURE OF THE COOL
UPPER LOW INTO NEVADA ON MONDAY. NO SIGNIFICANT WINDS THROUGH
THE PERIOD.
