.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 113 AM MDT Sat Oct 24 2026

The low pressure that brought widespread rain to our area has
moved east. Looking at dry, but slightly cooler than normal
temps through the weekend. Models continue to show a trough of
low pressure arriving Monday night into Tuesday. QPF with this
system is up to 0.25 inches for the mountains and highlands but
only a few hundredths fro the Snake River Plain into the Magic
Valley. We could see some light snow above 6500 feet with this
system, with early amounts ranging between 1 and 3 inches. This
does look like a breezy system with the NBM already advertising
wind gusts to 30 mph. Temperatures for the remainder of the week
should be near or slightly below average. Perhaps another weak
system arriving for late next week.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 113 AM MDT Sat Oct 24 2026

Low clouds are beginning to break up across the region. Models
show that trend continuing this morning. However, with as much
that fell yesterday we are monitoring for pockets of low stratus
and/or fog that could develop and potentially affect TAF sites
this morning. Winds look relatively light today.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 113 AM MDT Sat Oct 24 2026

Drier weather returns to the region for the weekend. Temperatures
will remain slightly below normal and winds relatively light.
Next system arrives Monday into Tuesday. Some breezy conditions
along with wetting rain/snow above 6500 feet is a good
possibility.

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