 Fire Weather Warning  Statement as of 3:56 am MDT on July 18, 2008


... Red flag warning in effect from noon today to 10 PM MDT this
evening for Idaho zones 409 410 412 and 477 for gusty winds and
low relative humidity...

A cold front aloft will arrive the area this afternoon. The
combination of strong gusty winds and low relative humidities is
expected to produce dangerous fire weather conditions.

A red flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions
are either occurring now... or will shortly. A combination of
strong winds... low relative humidity... and warm temperatures will
create explosive fire growth potential.

Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Pocatello Idaho 
253 PM MDT Friday Jul 18 2008 


Discussion...British Columbia low continues to move east this 
evening with trailing surface frontal boundary through central 
Montana and Lemhi County supported by 85kt jet. Isolated 
thunderstorms developing vicinity of Monida Pass and Spencer with 
the frontal band moving towards Island Park the next 3 to 6 hours. 
For the most part...surface winds are a little weaker this 
afternoon than advertised by the models yesterday. Winds are 
strong enough for the lake Wind Advisory for American Falls 
Reservoir but very marginal for the red flag warning currently in 
effect. 


High pressure ridge will dominate forecast area on 
Saturday...therefore no mention of thunderstorms in the afternoon. 
GFS indicates another disturbance from near 135w crosses forecast 
area in confluent flow pattern on Sunday. Monsoon moisture 
continues to be advertised in models rotating through Arizona and 
Utah Sunday and Monday with some of this moisture trying to make 
it into Idaho. Progression of trough near northern California 
coast appears to be a problem in the models. GFS has slowed this 
trough down from moving into Idaho Monday back to Tuesday and 
phasing it with short wave energy crossing British Columbia about 
that time. That would also shunt the monsoon moisture away from 
this area again. Uncertainty in details still abounds. Receiver station 


&& 


Aviation...widespread VFR with isolated evening thunderstorms in 
the central mountains and upper snake Highlands. Dsh 


&& 


Fire weather...the red flag warning for 409 410 412 and 477 will be 
allowed to continue for now. Wind speeds are generally below 
required thresholds with relative humidity at several sites either 
near or below critical levels. Conditions are close enough to keep 
the red flag in place for early this evening. Dsh 


&& 




Pih watches/warnings/advisories... 
red flag warning until 10 PM MDT this evening for idz409-410-412- 
477. 


Lake Wind Advisory until 9 PM MDT this evening for idz021.
