...DRIER AIR AND GUSTY NORTHWEST RIDGETOP WINDS TODAY...

.DISCUSSION...
A WEAK UPPER TROUGH MOVING INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST THROUGH FRIDAY.
THIS IS BRINGING IN LOWER DEWPOINTS ALONG WITH AN INCREASE IN NORTHWEST WINDS
ACROSS ALL ZONES. STRONGER UPPER LEVEL WINDS AHEAD OF THE WEAK TROUGH WILL
ASSIST IN THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT OVER THE BOISE AND PAYETTE NF FRIDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. GUSTY WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THEME AS THE AIRMASS
WILL BE MUCH DRIER THAN PREVIOUS DAYS...THEREFORE CHANCES OF WETTING RAINS
WILL BE VERY LIMITED.

WE ARE LOOKING AT THE POSSIBILITY OF THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING EAST OF THE
FIRE AREA TODAY AND TONIGHT. THIS MAY BRING PERIODS OF GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS
FROM THE EAST THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS.
