.KEY MESSAGES...

  higher terrain of southwest Idaho.

.SHORT TERM /Through Tuesday Night/...
Issued 221 PM MDT SUN SEP 20 2026
Broad upper ridging will keep warm and dry conditions over the
region on Monday. Temperatures will warm several degrees from
today`s highs, reaching 5-10 degrees above normal. An eastward
shift in the ridge axis on Tuesday will allow for a closed low
to lift northeastward through the Great Basin. This will bring a
20-30% chance of showers and thunderstorms to higher terrain
along the northern NV border, the w-central Idaho mtns east of
McCall- Lowman- Prairie and the mtns in Baker County Tuesday
afternoon. Potential inhibiting factors for development would
be daytime cloud cover and eastern track of the low/dynamic
center. Temperatures are mostly unchanged on Tuesday with a few
degrees of cooling anticipated across w-central Idaho zones.

.LONG TERM /Wednesday through Sunday/...
Issued 221 PM MDT SUN SEP 20 2026
