KEY MESSAGES

- Warming trend will continue through the weekend, with little precipitation in sight, sticking to mountain and highland areas.

- Rebuilding ridge of high pressure could provide renewed bouts of low clouds and fog at times this coming week. Confidence in this is low though.

SHORT TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/

Issued at 220 AM MST Tue Jan 27 2026

Clouds will continue to clear from northwest to southeast this morning as high pressure rebounds over the region. Ample sunshine will allow daytime temperatures to warm into the 30s and 40s or about 5 degrees above seasonal norms. Another trough will quickly shift through tomorrow, which will bring our best chances for precipitation of the forecast period. Cloud cover will begin to increase again this evening and daytime temperatures on Wednesday will take a few degree hit. The best chances for snow showers will be in the mountains and mid- elevations south and east of the Snake River Plain, with up to two inches of snow accumulation forecast generally above 6,000 feet elevation.

LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/

Issued at 142 PM MST Mon Jan 26 2026

As we move into Thursday and the weekend, high pressure will continue to keep the region mostly dry and temperatures trending on the warm side of seasonal norms. A few weak impulses moving through the upper flow could spark some isolated PoPs across some higher elevation spots on Friday and again Saturday but again, not expecting anything of significance in regards to QPF and accumulation. If we can avoid any return of lower valley stratus under the influence of high pressure and light winds, we should climb into the mid and upper 40s for valley locations as we move towards this upcoming weekend and into early next week. Overall, quiet weather remains in place as we move into February with this unusually quiet winter continuing throughout the region.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY/

Issued at 414 AM MST Tue Jan 27 2026

High clouds will continue to scatter this morning as high pressure rebounds and winds remain light. Mid- to high-level clouds will increase again tonight ahead of a weak system Wednesday, with the main impacts being increased clouds, breezy gusts, and VCSH.
