mountains and 70s valleys. It will become breezy with some 20 to
30 mph winds in the Snake River Plain with gusts 30 to 40 mph

Reservoir after noon. ,It will remain breezy on Friday as well.
Eastern mountain showers this morning will continue to push
east and expect dry conditions today. Will see a weak system
cool things a bit Saturday but extremely warm conditions and low
elevation high temperatures in the 80s move in Sunday and
continue through next Thursday so for the next week it is
