Meteorology/Dispersion Discussion

Last Updated: 2026-10-29 12:45:50.435527 MST

Airshed charts and summary table can be found here and maps can be found here.

Friday southwest flow aloft and warmer temperatures begin to influence more of central and southern ID and southwest MT. FAIR dispersion in eastern parts of central ID, most of southern ID and southwest MT. POOR dispersion all other areas as clouds increase which limits surface heating. Winds light most areas. 

Saturday warm air aloft moving through most of the region bringing clouds and precipitation to much of ID. Light winds with limited surface mixing for POOR dispersion. In MT many areas will see stronger inversions which will support POOR dispersion. 

Sunday widespread precipitation across MT for cooler temperatures and limited surface mixing for POOR dispersion. Light winds over ID with lingering cloud cover limiting heating for POOR dispersion.
