DISCUSSION

Issued at 141 AM MDT Fri May 1 2026

Not to many changes to the forecast. The overnight temps are a bit cooler for Friday and Saturday morning. Think the models are picking up on our really low dew points. So, potentially we may have another night of freeze or near freeze across the Snake River Plain zones. Otherwise, the forecast looks pretty much the same. Still looking at some moisture Sunday into Monday as a low tries to undercut the ridge. This low seems more likely to travel through the southwestern U.S. As a result, we are probably looking at scattered precipitation for early next week with the better chances near the Utah border. Temperatures continue to look mild with frost/freeze unlikely.
