Temperatures tonight will remain above freezing, continuing the melt cycle into Tuesday. Low and mid elevation snow melt and run off will continue. Increased runoff on top of frozen or saturated ground may lead to ponding of water or sheet flooding in low lying or poor drainage areas, along with rises on small streams and creeks. Locations most prone to rapid snowmelt include areas below 6000 ft across the Eastern Magic Valley, Lower and Upper Snake Plain, and South Hills, where snow pack still exists. A slight cooling trend is expected to begin Tuesday and continue through the remainder of the week, with overnight lows returning to below freezing starting Tuesday night, slowing the melt. Make sure drains are cleared and move snow away from buildings to minimize impacts. Stay up to date with the latest forecasts at weather.gov/pocatello. $$ DMH
