.SHORT TERM...Tonight through Sunday night...Winds will continue
to ramp up through this afternoon as a cold front moves through
the region. Winds gusting to 45 mph are expected in s-central
Idaho through this evening, including the Western Magic Valley
(Twin Falls, Jerome) south to the Nevada border. A Wind Advisory
remains in effect until 9 pm MDT. The winds will subside late
this evening and will remain gusty area-wide through the
weekend, but not as strong as today.

An anomalous upper low will support showers through the
weekend, especially over the higher terrain. Snow levels lower
to to around 6000 feet with a chance of light snow accumulations
(up to 3 inches) on the peaks. In addition to the showers,
marginal instability will lead to isolated thunderstorms,
accompanied by gusty winds and small hail. The upper low is
expected to move east of the area Sunday evening, ending the
showers.

Temperatures remain well below normal through the weekend, with
highs averaging 10 to 20 degrees below normal. The coolest day
is expected to be on Saturday.

.LONG TERM...Monday through Friday...An upper trough lingers
early in the week, but not enough moisture to support convection.
The trough weakens by midweek resulting in a warming trend as
temperatures return to above normal by Wednesday. Most of the
ensembles show another trough later in the week, but still not
enough moisture for convection. Bottom line: dry with less than
a 15 percent chance of showers next week with below normal
temperatures on Monday warming to above normal Wednesday through
Friday.
