DISCUSSION

Issued at 113 AM MDT Sat Oct 24 2026

The low pressure that brought widespread rain to our area has moved east. Looking at dry, but slightly cooler than normal temps through the weekend. Models continue to show a trough of low pressure arriving Monday night into Tuesday. QPF with this system is up to 0.25 inches for the mountains and highlands but only a few hundredths fro the Snake River Plain into the Magic Valley. We could see some light snow above 6500 feet with this system, with early amounts ranging between 1 and 3 inches. This does look like a breezy system with the NBM already advertising wind gusts to 30 mph. Temperatures for the remainder of the week should be near or slightly below average. Perhaps another weak system arriving for late next week.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/

Issued at 113 AM MDT Sat Oct 24 2026

Low clouds are beginning to break up across the region. Models show that trend continuing this morning. However, with as much that fell yesterday we are monitoring for pockets of low stratus and/or fog that could develop and potentially affect TAF sites this morning. Winds look relatively light today.

FIRE WEATHER

Issued at 113 AM MDT Sat Oct 24 2026

Drier weather returns to the region for the weekend. Temperatures will remain slightly below normal and winds relatively light. Next system arrives Monday into Tuesday. Some breezy conditions along with wetting rain/snow above 6500 feet is a good possibility.
