.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1233 PM MDT Wed Oct 14 2026

Precipitation has finally come to an end across eastern Idaho. 
The area of low pressure that impacted us the last few days is 
over southeast Utah. This low continues to weaken and move 
eastward today with high pressure building in from the west 
over southeast Idaho.

There are some lingering clouds across our eastern areas
currently but most areas have cleared out. With high pressure,
clear skies, and lingering moisture expect patchy fog tomorrow 
morning. Expect dry conditions through Monday with a gradual 
warming trend under high pressure. Winds will remain light 
through Sunday. For lower elevations, highs today will be in the
50s for most and we return to the low 60s for Friday afternoon.
Expect mid 60s by Sunday and Monday. 

Overall, the models are showing a system starting to move into 
the area by early next Tuesday. Though, models continue to 
disagree on exact timing. Some models hold off the system until 
later next week. If models stay on the same track, expect winds 
to pick up by Monday afternoon. Currently models show good 
precipitation chances Tuesday and Wednesday. Currently, overall 
accumulation looks light to moderate, 0.10 to 0.25 for valleys 
and 0.25 to 0.5 for mountains.

bringing the next round of light rain and high elevation snow to
East Idaho.
