.SHORT TERM...Today through Saturday night...We`ll start of a
prolonged stretch of dry weather under light flow aloft. A
closed low working through the Desert SW will support afternoon
clouds and possibly a shower along the ID/NV border today,
otherwise mostly clear skies and seasonable temperatures will
prevail into the weekend. An uptick in W-NW flow aloft Friday
and Saturday will bring increased winds to open terrain (gusts
to 20 mph in spots) each afternoon.

.LONG TERM...Sunday through Thursday...The dry conditions
continue into next week. Monday starts off with more cloud cover
as a passing trough digs towards the Four Corners. Models are
in agreement that the Intermountain NW will warm up through mid-
week in response to a building upper ridge. This will push
temperatures above normal as lower elevations reach the low 80s.
Agreement in the 00Z operational models falls off beyond
Wednesday with the ensemble mean favoring a continuation of warm
and dry weather under a ridge of high pressure.
