No significant impacts for the next week are expected. Will have record or near record warmth Wednesday through Friday with valley highs in the 70s to lower 80s and mountains mainly 60s into the 70s. Will be some breezy afternoons with the strongest 20 to 35 mph in the Snake River Plain. The next slight chance of precipitations will be in the mountains on Saturday and Sunday. We will get a cold frontal passage with about a 10 to 15 degree cooling Saturday into Sunday but temperatures will still be well above seasonal normal with 50s mountains and 60s valleys. By next Tuesday, a chance for more widespread precipitation but very low confidence that far out.
