DISCUSSION
WHILE THE AIR MASS IS QUITE A BIT DRIER THAN PRIOR
DAYS, THERE IS STILL A LOW CHANCE OF ISOLATED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OVER HIGHER TERRAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND
MONDAY AFTERNOON. WITH ANY SHOWERS, WINDS COULD BECOME GUSTY AND
ERRATIC UP TO 25-30 MPH. THERE IS ALSO A CHANCE OF SCATTERED
SHOWERS MONDAY NIGHT JUST AHEAD OF A WEAK WAVE PASSING THROUGH
IDAHO, THOUGH GUSTY WINDS WILL BE LESS OF A THREAT. DAYTIME RH
WILL SLOWLY CONTINUE TO DRY OUT THROUGH MID-WEEK, THOUGH
OVERNIGHT RECOVERIES WILL STILL BE GOOD TO MARGINAL.
