* Central Idaho Dispatch Area weather impact summary (Zones 475

An upper level trough will increase the wind today, but the cool

six days, watch for weaker wind but higher afternoon temperatures
and decreasing afternoon humidity. There is little to no chance
for precipitation for this week.
* East Idaho Dispatch Area weather impact summary (Zones 410...411
and 413)...
An upper level trough will increase the wind today and trigger some
afternoon thunderstorms in the Targhee NF portion of the CTNF. The

six days, watch for weaker wind but higher afternoon temperatures
and decreasing afternoon humidity. There is little to no chance
for precipitation for this week.
