TONIGHT: We expect a cold front to pass through the entire region overnight tonight. It will start late tonight through the central ID mountains and will likely leave Western WY late morning tomorrow. In this process, we expect a lot of rain and snow overnight in Central ID with a few isolated one-off rain showers at the ID / WY border and in western WY. Very windy conditions will also continue through the night with winds between 15 and 30 mph and gusts of up to 50 and 60 mph in some areas. The low temperatures are in the 40s for the early hours of the morning.
TOMORROW: Massive cooldown begins tomorrow. The high temperatures only seem to reach the 50s. It will rain most of the day for us starting in the morning and continuing through a good potion throughout the day. Snow should also be mixed with rain, but only for the Central ID and Western WY Highlands in the Tetons. If it isn’t raining, we should have cloudy conditions blocking all sunlight for the whole day. Rain totals appear to be about a quarter of an inch. The winds will also continue to be very windy. We should expect freezing conditions in some places until Sunday evening with lows approaching freezing.
LONG TERM: Once the cold front subsides, a warming trend will begin and no chance of rain is expected for the most part. We may still have isolated rain and snow showers for Central ID and Western WY for Monday. The winds subside until Tuesday and most of the week. After the low risk of a thunderstorm on Monday, sunny skies will be present for most if not all of the work week. The winds subside until Tuesday and most of the week. This will help warm up the high temperatures until the 70s for Wednesday and we will be in the low 70s for the rest of the week until next weekend.
