* Central Idaho Dispatch Area weather impact summary (Zones 475
and 476)...
Shower and thunderstorm chances increase today ahead of a shortwave
moving through the area late today into tomorrow. PoPs increase into
the northern half of these two zones, to around 30-50 percent. Even
if we do see something pop up on radar this afternoon, QPF looks to
be less than a tenth of an inch, meaning better chances of seeing
virga and gusty winds instead of much appreciable rainfall. Min RHs
remain around 15 to 25 percent today and tomorrow.
* East Idaho Dispatch Area weather impact summary (Zones 410...411
and 413)...
Generally dry conditions are in the forecast for today ahead of a
shortwave moving through the area late today into tomorrow. PoPs
remain around 15 to 20 percent at beast. Even if we do see something
pop up on radar this afternoon, QPF looks to be near zero, meaning
better chances of seeing virga and gusty winds instead of
appreciable rainfall. Min RHs remain around 10 to 15 percent in the
southern half of 410 and western half of 413 and 15 to 25 percent
elsewhere in these zones.
* South Central Idaho Dispatch Area weather impact summary (Zones
422...425 and 427)...
Generally dry conditions are in the forecast for today ahead of a
shortwave moving through the area late today into tomorrow. PoPs
remain around 15 to 20 percent at beast. Even if we do see something
pop up on radar this afternoon, QPF looks to be near zero, meaning
better chances of seeing virga and gusty winds instead of
appreciable rainfall. Min RHs remain around 10 to 15 percent in the
zones 425, 427, and the southern half of 422 while being closer to
20 percent in the northern half of 422.
