DISCUSSION

Issued at 203 AM MDT Tue Jun 2 2026

The low pressure system that brought cool and unsettled weather to the area is now moving away. We should see climbing temperatures over the next few days with 80s likely for many locations by Wednesday. On Wednesday a trough will pass through the Idaho Panhandle and Montana. As it does so, we may see some showers or thunderstorms across the central mountains into the Island Park region. The high res models are indicating that we could see some virga showers or thunderstorms late Wednesday afternoon and Wednesday night further south. Winds continue to look breezy on Thursday and could meet criteria for an American Falls Reservoir lake wind advisory. As we head towards the weekend another low pressure system will enter the Pacific Northwest. There is still a lot of uncertainty with this next system in terms of what impacts it will bring if any. Right now it doesn't look like much. Best guess right now is some low chances for showers and thunderstorms and some gusty winds and potentially we could cool back into the 70s for the Snake Plain and Magic Valley for a day or two.
