DISCUSSION

Issued at 411 AM MDT Thu May 14 2026

Temperatures will run much cooler today behind the departing system. Daytime temps will remain very stable over the next several days, running around 15 degrees cooler than yesterday and within a few degrees of climatological normals. We will remain in a breezy zonal regime with gusts generally in the 30 to 40 mph range across much of the region. Otherwise, conditions will remain dry and quiet until the next trough arrives on Saturday. This will mean chances for showers and thunderstorms during the weekend and much colder temperatures by Sunday. Frost/freeze conditions will become increasingly widespread heading into the weekend and early next week. Overnight/early morning temperatures will be conducive for frost across portions of our growing zones as early as tomorrow morning with many locations solidly below freezing by Monday and Tuesday mornings with hard freeze likely across the Snake River Plain.
