* Central Idaho Dispatch Area weather impact summary (Zones 475
and 476)...
The low that brought all the rain and high elevation snow is exiting
to the east and an extended dry period should develop behind this low.
Humidity will remain high through tonight, but the continued northerly
air flow should bring in lower humidity air, and the abundant sunshine
should dry out afternoon humidity. Light wind expected after today
under high pressure. The next chance for precipitation occurs over
the next weekend.
* East Idaho Dispatch Area weather impact summary (Zones 410...411
and 413)...
The low that brought all the rain and high elevation snow is exiting
to the east and still has some light rain and high elevation snow
that could linger into the early afternoon. An extended dry period should
develop behind this low. Humidity will remain high through tonight, but
continued northerly air flow should bring in lower humidity air, and the
abundant sunshine should dry out afternoon humidity by Wednesday. Light
wind expected after today under high pressure. The next chance for
precipitation occurs along the UT border on Wednesday, but more likely
this upcoming weekend.
* South Central Idaho Dispatch Area weather impact summary (Zones
422...425 and 427)...
The low that brought all the rain and high elevation snow is exiting
to the east and still has some light rain and high elevation snow
