.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 203 AM MDT Tue Jun 2 2026

The low pressure system that brought cool and unsettled weather
to the area is now moving away. We should see climbing
temperatures over the next few days with 80s likely for many
locations by Wednesday. On Wednesday a trough will pass through
the Idaho Panhandle and Montana. As it does so, we may see some
showers or thunderstorms across the central mountains into the
Island Park region. The high res models are indicating that we
could see some virga showers or thunderstorms late Wednesday
afternoon and Wednesday night further south. Winds continue to
look breezy on Thursday and could meet criteria for an American
Falls Reservoir lake wind advisory. As we head towards the
weekend another low pressure system will enter the Pacific
Northwest. There is still a lot of uncertainty with this next
system in terms of what impacts it will bring if any. Right now
it doesn`t look like much. Best guess right now is some low
chances for showers and thunderstorms and some gusty winds and
potentially we could cool back into the 70s for the Snake Plain
and Magic Valley for a day or two.
