.KEY MESSAGES...

- Dry and warmer conditions through Wednesday

- Pockets of fog and stratus through midweek

- Precipitation returns as early as Thursday

&&

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Issued at 147 AM MST Mon Nov 10 2025

High pressure weakens slightly today and Tuesday over southeast
Idaho with a weak wave passing over northern Idaho and Montana.
Expect partly cloudy conditions by this afternoon and continuing
into Tuesday. Winds this afternoon and Tuesday will increase
slightly in the afternoon with gusts of around 15 to 20 mph,
mainly in the Snake River plain and ridge tops. There could be a
return of some patchy fog this morning but fog will be less
likely until Wednesday morning.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1132 AM MST Sun Nov 9 2025

We stay dry through Wednesday night based on the latest trends.
We would expect more pockets of fog and low clouds Tuesday night
as high pressure holds in place. Temperatures remain warm
through at least Thursday with more 60s expected for afternoon
highs. Current trends have held with some potential for
precipitation by Thursday and continuing into next weekend.
There might a little more evidence in the models and ensembles
of the next overall low to come across Idaho in multiple rounds
vs a more consolidated push heading into the weekend. This lends
itself to the idea of the first round coming Thursday instead
of holding off until Friday or Saturday. Once the next storm and
pattern change happens, we will be right back to seeing highs
in the 40s down low.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY/...
Issued at 1021 AM MST Mon Nov 10 2025

Ridge of high pressure keeps East Idaho terminals dry with VFR high
clouds in place through the forecast period. Other than a slight
uptick in winds to 10-12kts at PIH and IDA this afternoon, winds
remain light and variable.

&&

.PIH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
None.
