* Central Idaho Dispatch Area weather impact summary (Zones 475
and 476)...
Drier conditions are returning for the next several days. We can`t rule out a
storm or two today from around Mackay to Gilmore Summit. There is a little
better chance Wednesday in the same area and along the Montana border.
The bigger story will be stronger winds and elevated fire concerns as humidity
drops across lower elevations.
* East Idaho Dispatch Area weather impact summary (Zones 410...411
and 413)...
We will continue with showers and isolated storms through the 4th of July,
mainly across Zone 411. There is a slight chance of storms Wednesday as well
across the northern end of 410. The bigger story will stronger winds lower
afternoon humidity, leading to elevated fire weather concerns. Expect warmer
and dry conditions to persist beyond the holiday.
* South Central Idaho Dispatch Area weather impact summary (Zones
422...425 and 427)...
Drier conditions are returning for the next several days. The big story
will be elevated fire weather concerns Wednesday with much lower afternoon
humidity and stronger winds.
