A split flow low is moving across the state this afternoon, bringing some light snow showers here and there. This should tonight, leaving us with a dry and warm weekend ahead. We should actually stay warm through Monday. The warm spots Sunday and Monday will be pushing mid 50s for highs. Our Blend of Models still is bringing some light rain and snow by afternoon in the central mountains, but trends overall seem to be pushing things back toward Monday night or Tuesday. Tuesday and Wednesday looks wet, especially well up in elevations, and pretty breezy across the board. The Blend is also keep quite a bit of shower activity around Thursday and Friday, where some of the newest forecast data in bone dry. For now, the forecast has showers around and temperatures pushing back into the 50s at lowest elevations for highs.

A few SHSN will remain possible across higher elevations of East Idaho this afternoon and early evening. There is no confidence of occurrence at any particular time for any of the terminals, but DIJ would have the best chance. Even then, the confidence is less than 15% so left all mention out of the forecast at this time. Winds turn downvalley for most locations overnight. There is a 20-30% chance of MVFR CIGS developing overnight for DIJ, and leaned toward that possibility with a lower SCT deck. Otherwise all sites remain VFR.
