...STRONG LATE WINTER STORM ARRIVES MONDAY...

A STORM CURRENTLY IN THE EASTERN PACIFIC IS EXPECTED TO PASS A
VERY STRONG COLD FRONT THROUGH SOUTHERN IDAHO ON MONDAY. THIS
STORM WILL BRING LIGHT TO MODERATE AMOUNTS OF SNOW...BUT THE MORE
SERIOUS CONSIDERATION WILL BE THE VERY WINDY CONDITIONS THAT COULD
DEVELOP WITH THIS STORM. PRESENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT WINDS IN THE
SNAKE RIVER PLAIN AND OTHER WEST TO EAST OR SOUTHWEST TO
NORTHEAST ORIENTED VALLEYS MAY EXPERIENCE A PROLONGED PERIOD OF
WINDS AT 35 MILES PER HOUR OR MORE.

WIND OF THIS STRENGTH CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR HOME...MAKE DRIVING
DIFFICULT IN A CROSSWIND...BRING DOWN TREES AND POWER LINES...AND
TAKE AWAY UNSECURED OBJECTS THAT ARE STORED OUTSIDE.

BEFORE HEADING OUT THIS WEEKEND AND RETURNING LATE
SUNDAY...RESIDENTS OF SOUTHERN IDAHO SHOULD MAKE AN EFFORT TO
SECURE LOOSE OBJECTS THAT ARE NORMALLY STORED OUTSIDE. MAKE AN
INSPECTION OF TREES AND POWER LINES ON YOUR PROPERTY...AND TAKE
MEASURES TO REDUCE ANY FALLING HAZARD.
