Weather Alert in Idaho
Hydrologic Outlook issued August 24 at 1:57PM MDT by NWS Boise ID
AREAS AFFECTED: Ada, ID; Adams, ID; Boise, ID; Camas, ID; Canyon, ID; Elmore, ID; Gem, ID; Gooding, ID; Jerome, ID; Owyhee, ID; Payette, ID; Twin Falls, ID; Valley, ID; Washington, ID; Baker, OR; Harney, OR; Malheur, OR
DESCRIPTION: ESFBOI A push of monsoonal moisture will bring several days of showers and thunderstorms to the region. Abnormally high moisture will allow for widespread heavy rain accumulation, leading to an increased threat of flash flooding. Tuesday and Wednesday currently look to have the best chance for heavy rain, especially in southeast Oregon, near the ID-NV border, and high terrain in southwest Idaho. Conditions will likely dry out considerably by the end of the week. Burn scars and steep and rocky terrain are at the most risk for flash flooding. The Wapiti Fire burn scar near Grandjean, ID, the Durkee Fire burn scar near Ironside, OR, and the Lava Fire burn scar near Cascade, ID are of particular concern for flash flooding. Recent fires also are vulnerable to flash flooding impacts. Please be aware of impacts in these areas and have multiple ways to receive flash flood warnings. Consider alternate plans if recreating near these areas.

Next Topic: Evaporation
Drizzle is precipitation in the form of water droplets which are
smaller than raindrops.
Drizzle is characterized by fine, gently falling droplets and typically does not
impact human habitation in a negative way. The exception to this is freezing drizzle,
a condition where drizzle freezes immediately upon reaching earth's surface.
Freezing drizzle is still less dangerous than freezing rain, but can
potentially result in hazardous road conditions.

Next Topic: Fractus Clouds
Fog is technically a type of stratus cloud, which lies along the
ground and obscures visibility.
It is usually created when humidity in the air condenses into tiny water droplets.
Because of this, some places are more prone to foggy weather, such as regions
close to a body of water.
Fog is similar to mist; both are the appearance of water droplets suspended in
the air, but fog is the term applied to the condition when visibility is less than 1 km.
