* Central Idaho Dispatch Area weather impact summary (Zones 475
and 476)...

High pressure and the strongest sunshine of the season will boost
afternoon highs 6 to 10 deg F above yesterday`s readings. Look
for drier humidity as well. A low moving across southern Canada
will not bring much in the way of clouds, but it will bring breezy
to windy conditions this afternoon and evening and cooler
temperatures for Sunday.

* East Idaho Dispatch Area weather impact summary (Zones 410...411
and 413)...

High pressure and the strongest sunshine of the season will boost
afternoon highs 6 to 10 deg F above yesterday`s readings. Look
for drier humidity as well. A low moving across southern Canada
will bring some clouds and even a risk of afternoon thunderstorms
in the Island Park-Macks Inn area. Also, expect breezy to windy
conditions this afternoon and evening and cooler temperatures for
Sunday.

* South Central Idaho Dispatch Area weather impact summary (Zones
422...425 and 427)...

...RED FLAG WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM NOON TODAY TO 9 PM MDT
THIS EVENING FOR GUSTY WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY FOR FIRE
WEATHER ZONES 425 AND 427...

High pressure and the strongest sunshine of the season will boost
afternoon highs 6 to 10 deg F above yesterday`s readings. Look
for drier humidity as well. A low moving across southern Canada
will not bring much in the way of clouds, but it will bring breezy
to windy conditions this afternoon and evening. This combination,
plus some areas of critical fuels, has led to the issuance of a
Red Flag Warning for portions of the dispatch area. Expect cooler
temperatures for Sunday.
