.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Issued at 151 AM MDT Wed Oct 15 2025

A wet day remains on tap today as multiple rounds of rain,
showers, high-elevation snow, and isolated thunderstorms
affect southeast Idaho. Snow levels will range from 6,500 feet
to 8,000 feet, with nearly all snow accumulation confined above
about 7,000 feet. For those traveling, the potential remains
for slick spots over some mountain passes, especially during
colder overnight/early morning periods. And, for those venturing
into the backcountry...over a foot of snow is likely at the
highest elevations of some of the mountains surrounding the Wood
River Valley region. Otherwise...aside from the fact that it
will be raining at times...overall impacts from this system will
be quite limited for most population centers. Cooler high
temperatures today will run about 5-10 degrees below normal for
mid-October...and similarly...5-10 degrees below yesterday`s
readings.

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Issued at 105 PM MDT Tue Oct 14 2025

The day begins Thursday with an upper low centered near the far SE
corner of the Gem State. Thursday will remain well below normal
temperature wise with 40s and low 50s across the western half of the
area with 30s and 40s for our eastern zones (closer to the low).
We`ll see precip and clouds begin to taper off from west to east
throughout the day but areas along and east of I-15 will have to
wait until later in the afternoon or evening before conditions start
to improve. Cold temperatures in the eastern highlands will support
some accumulating snowfall across the higher terrain (above 7000 ft)
on Thursday. By daybreak Friday, upper level troughing will quickly
transition to a ridge allowing for a brief warming trend Friday into
Sunday with mostly dry conditions and mostly sunny weather through
the first part of the day on Sunday. Temperatures will remain on the
cooler side of normal Fri and Sat but get closer to seasonal norms
by Sunday but that`s when the weather pattern looks to change once
again. Models show a potent trough once again moving into the
Pacific NW  which will bring precip and clouds back into the
forecast for eastern Idaho by as early as Sunday afternoon but
especially for much of the day Monday and into Tuesday. Along with
the precip, we`ll see much colder temperatures once again for Monday
and Tuesday with highs running well below normal along with valley
rain/mountain snow chances. Could even see some valley precip change
over to snow Monday night into Tuesday AM but it`s still unclear how
much precip will remain by that point. Either way, an active fall
weather pattern is expected to continue across the region into the
third week of October.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 1048 PM MDT Tue Oct 14 2025

Expect widespread moisture still after around midnight. CIGS
will likely be MVFR, especially with any showers on station.
Heavier showers will likely bring IFR conditions. HREF guidance
took out thunderstorms overnight for KSUN, KBYI and KPIH. Left VCTS
mention for KIDA and KDIJ from early morning through the afternoon.
Brought VCTS back in for afternoon for KSUN, KBYI, and KPIH. Winds
will be light overall for evening. Expect breezy southerly winds by
the afternoon with gusts around 20 mph. Left the winds VRB10G20KT in
the afternoon for most sites due to chance of showers and
thunderstorms. Otherwise, overall flow will be southerly. There is a
hint sites will trend near VFR by late afternoon into early evening.
However, any VFR conditions will likely be short lived tomorrow
evening and trend back to MVFR/IFR conditions by Thursday morning.
