.KEY MESSAGES...

- Warm and dry conditions return for the next several days

- The next chance of precipitation likely holds off until the
  end of next week

&&

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Issued at 1257 AM MST Sat Nov 8 2025

High pressure will produce dry weather with light
winds today. Temps will be a touch below average with highs in the
40s across most of the region. The Magic Valley will probably be
closer to 50 today.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Issued at 1207 PM MST Fri Nov 7 2025

Dry conditions are expected as high pressure takes over the
pattern across our area. We do expect a low passing to our north
to kick up the wind a bit Monday and Tuesday, but we don`t see
any showers coming with that. As early as next Thursday, the
pattern shifting back toward another low moving through the West
and showers returning. The trends have been pushing the bulk of
the moisture until Friday if not until next weekend. Recent
similar forecasts that far out have ended up with less amounts
of rain and snow that forecast, so we will see what transpires
in the coming days. With this pattern, we will see warmer
temperatures but also some semblance of inversions with days
getting shorter. The latest forecasts call for plenty of 50s and
low-mid 60s next week, and would expect that to pan out
within/above any inversion layer that develops. We will need to
see how things progress in that regard. At the moment, any air
quality related impacts seem minimal to none.
