.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 209 AM MDT Mon Jun 1 2026

A stalled low pressure system will produce a few showers and
thunderstorms today. We expect one band of virga showers to pass
through southeast Idaho this morning. This afternoon,
redevelopment is expected across much of the central mountains
and also across the hills south of Burley and into the southeast
highlands. Most of this activity will be dry although some of
the activity in the central mountains could be persistent enough
for a few hundredths to accumulate. We had a chilly start to
the morning with some locations across the Snake Plain into the
eastern Magic Valley falling into the 30s. Expect another chilly
night for Tuesday morning but temperatures should be a couple
degrees warmer.

The low pressure system should pull away from the area Tuesday
leaving us with dry weather and warmer temperatures. A weak system
will pass north of our area. We have low chances for showers in the
forecast for Wednesday Night into Thursday with that system across
portions of the central mountains into the Island Park region.
Temperatures will bounce back above average with highs in the Snake
Plain and Magic Valley in the upper 70s and 80s.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY/...
Issued at 209 AM MDT Mon Jun 1 2026

Expect vfr conditions at TAF sites today. There will be some
showers and isolated storms that will develop this afternoon.
Think they will miss most of the sites, but there`s a 20% chance
that a storm could pass through a site. If this happens, the
main impact would be gusty convective winds as these storms will
mostly be dry.

.FIRE WEATHER...

remain dry, although some of the showers across central Idaho
could result in some minor rain accumulation. Very dry air will
return areawide by Tuesday.
