...............................
IT WAS THE SECOND DRIEST JUNE AT THE BOISE AIRPORT, WHERE RECORDS GO
BACK TO 1940. IT WAS THE FOURTH DIREST JUNE AT ALL BOISE LOCATIONS
GOING BACK TO 1864. MEASURABLE RAIN FELL ON ONLY TWO DAYS.
THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE FOR THE MONTH WAS VERY CLOSE TO NORMAL.
JUNE BEGAN WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES, WITH HIGHS IN THE 80S
UNDER AN UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE.
ON THE 7TH A PACIFIC COLD FRONT, FOLLOWED BY AN UPPER LEVEL LOW
PRESSURE TROUGH, BROUGHT A BRIEF BREAK IN THE WARM WEATHER. HIGHS
WERE ONLY IN THE LOWER 60S ON THE 7TH AND 8TH.
BY THE 10TH TEMPERATURES HAD RISEN ABOVE NORMAL AGAIN AS ANOTHER
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BEGAN TO BUILD OVER THE WEST COAST. HIGHS WERE
IN THE 80S FROM THE 10TH THROUGH THE 19TH, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE
91 ON THE 12TH. THAT WAS THE FIRST 90 DEGREE READING SINCE SEPTEMBER
7.
FOLLOWING THE 80 DEGREES ON THE 19TH, MUCH COOLER AIR SPREAD SOUTH
FOLLOWING A COLD FRONT AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH DEEPENED OVER
SOUTHWEST CANADA AND THE NORTHWEST U.S. HIGHS WERE ONLY IN THE MID
60S ON THE 20TH AND 21ST.
AFTER A CHILLY 42 DEGREE LOW ON THE 22ND, TEMPERATURES BEGAN A SLOW
RECOVERY AS THE TROUGH EXITED TO THE EAST. BY THE 25TH MILDER WEST-
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT HAD RETURNED TEMPERATURES TO NEAR NORMAL.
ON THE 26TH AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH FROM THE GULF OF ALASKA HAD
ARRIVED OFF THE WASHINGTON-OREGON COAST. COMING FROM THE COLD WATERS
OF THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC, IT CONTAINED LITTLE MOISTURE.
AHEAD OF THE TROUGH, SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT HELPED THE TEMPERATURE
WARM TO 89 ON THE 26TH.
AS THE TROUGH EDGED FURTHER EAST THAT DAY, THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED
IN NORTHEAST OREGON ALONG A WEAK COLD FRONT. BUT THEY NEVER GOT AS
FAR AS BOISE, AND THAT NIGHT THE FRONT PRODUCED NO PRECIPITATION AS
IT CROSSED SOUTHWEST IDAHO.
THE TROUGH GRADUALLY WEAKENED AND MOVED OFFSHORE. IT CONTINUED TO
HAVE LITTLE EFFECT ON OUR AREA, ALTHOUGH ON THE 28TH A STATIONARY
BAND OF DENSE HIGH CLOUDS PREVENTED TEMPERATURES FROM RISING ABOVE
THE LOWER 70S.
