* Central Idaho Dispatch Area weather impact summary (Zones 475
and 476)...
High pressure will remain of the northern Rockies and Great Basin,
with a weak to moderate westerly flow maintaining clear skies and
above normal temperatures for the next couple of days. A low moving
through on Tuesday/Wednesday may increase the wind to critical
weather thresholds, but it will also bring in some higher humidity
air. The next chance for precipitation is Friday night or Saturday.
* East Idaho Dispatch Area weather impact summary (Zones 410...411
and 413)...
High pressure will remain of the northern Rockies and Great Basin,

above normal temperatures for the next couple of days. A low moving
through on Tuesday/Wednesday may bring back a chance for precipitation
along the Idaho-Utah border those days. Friday night or Saturday may
bring more precipitation from a stronger low from the west.
* South Central Idaho Dispatch Area weather impact summary (Zones
422...425 and 427)...
