.SHORT TERM...Tonight through Friday night...A ridge remains
over the area with stagnant conditions and a temperature
inversion. Patchy fog remains along in the lower Treasure Valley
along the Snake river. Fog is expected to dissipate briefly
this afternoon before redeveloping after sunset and slowly
expanding tonight into Thursday morning. A dense fog advisory
has been issued for the lower Treasure Valley. The fog is
expected to expand each night over the next several days, with
the lower Treasure likely to be cloudy/foggy, while the Upper
Treasure has fog at night, but improvement during the day. The
ridge will expand over western BC over the next several days
allowing for cooler air to move into the area from the north and
east which may alter the fog. Temperature forecast confidence
is low in the valleys, where fog may keep high temperatures
10-15 degrees cooler than the forecast.

.LONG TERM...Saturday through Wednesday...Dry and stable
conditions to continue into Tuesday from the high amplitude
upper-level ridge over the Western United States. Strong and
persistent inversions will continue to bring fog chances,
especially in lower valleys. By late Tuesday into Wednesday, the
ridge begins to break down in amplitudeness, however long-range
ensembles and clusters still hint at an actual pattern change
(with a shortwave trough and precipitation) late next week.

areas of fog/low stratus overnight Wednesday into Thursday,
