.DISCUSSION...A LARGE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE IS STREAMING THROUGH THE
SALMON-CHALLIS NF TODAY, BUT THERE IS ENOUGH HIGH CLOUD COVER TO
KEEP THE ATMOSPHERE MAINLY STABLE.  HOWEVER, ANY BREAK IN THE CLOUDS
THIS AFTERNOON COULD MEAN AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM THAT COULD
PRODUCE STRONG AND ERRATIC WINDS AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS.  THE BIGGEST
THREAT FOR THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS WHEN THE CLOUDS START TO
THIN OUT SOME...AFTER 1500 TODAY, WITH THE THUNDERSTORM THREAT
ENDING AROUND 0300 TONIGHT. LOW PRESSURE MOVING THROUGH THE
IDAHO PANHANDLE AND MONTANA WILL INCREASE THE WIND TODAY, BUT KEEP
IT FROM THE SOUTHWEST. AN ISOLATED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM IS
POSSIBLE AGAIN ON FRIDAY, BUT MUCH OF THE MOISTURE WILL HAVE MOVED
TO THE EAST AND OUT OF THE SALMON-CHALLIS NF. AFTERNOONS WILL
CONTINUE TO BE WINDY OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
