Meteorology/Dispersion Discussion

Last Updated: 2026-03-09 07:10:14.171144 MST

Dispersion Discussion March 9 2026

Dan Borsum NRCC Predictive Services Meteorologist  

Smoke Dispersion Maps and charts on the NRCC Website will be updated MTWTF. 

Discussions will be updated Sunday/Tuesday/Thursday and posted to the other days.

Post frontal and breezy Monday and Tuesday with strong westerly flow aloft with GOOD to EXCELLENT dispersion. Some shower activity possible favoring westerly slopes. 

Wednesday weak short lived high pressure builds over ID with a fair amount of moisture trapped in it. Northern ID valleys could be cool with low level inversion for POOR dispersion. Otherwise still breezy in the afternoon other areas for GOOD dispersion. 

Thursday another major wind push across the region with GOOD to EXCELLENT dispersion. 

Friday cooler to colder air tries to work into the region and dispersion will experience a decreasing trend but forecasts are uncertain how quickly the cold air will arrive.
