* Central Idaho Dispatch Area weather impact summary (Zones 475
and 476)...
A cold front that pushed through last night will leave behind
very windy areas and much colder temperatures, but surprisingly
very little in rainfall with no more thunderstorms expected today
or tonight. Wind will let up only a little bit for Sunday, and
temperatures will continue to cool. As a low moves in for late
Sunday night, it will drop some light snow at elevations above
6500ft or so.
* East Idaho Dispatch Area weather impact summary (Zones 410...411
and 413)...
A cold front pushing through early this morning will leave behind
very windy areas, with gusts nearing 60 mph in the Arco Desert.
A cold and extremely dry air mass will move in behind this front,
so temperatures will turn much cooler, with this cooling trend
actually lasting through to Tuesday. Wind will decrease only a
slight amount for Sunday, and on Monday snowfall accumulations may
be seen above 7000ft elevation in the Targhee portion of the C-T NF.
* South Central Idaho Dispatch Area weather impact summary (Zones
422...425 and 427)...
A cold front pushing through early this morning will leave behind
windy areas, with gusts nearing 40 mph in BLM lands. A cold and
extremely dry air mass will move in behind this front,
so temperatures will turn much colder, with this cooling trend
actually lasting through to Tuesday. Wind will decrease a
slight amount for Sunday.
