.SHORT TERM...Today through Wednesday.
An arctic cold front will slide south through Idaho this afternoon
through tonight. It will have light snow with it with some
accumulations possible this afternoon through Tuesday of 2 to 4
inches in the eastern highlands with possible an inch or so in the
Snake River Plain. Breezy southwest winds are expected today ahead
of the front in the Snake Plain and southern highlands with 20 to
25 mph winds expected. Winds will turn to the north behind the
arctic front tonight and many areas could see the northerly winds
in the 15 to 20 mph range overnight tonight. Very cold wind chills
will be present in the Upper Snake Highlands. Do not think amounts
of snow widespread enough to warrant a winter weather advisory but
do expect some difficult travel conditions from late this
afternoon through Tuesday morning. Beginning near the Montana
border this afternoon and spreading quickly south overnight
tonight. Extremely cold temperatures will continue through the
entire short term period with Tuesday the coldest day with high
temperatures 25 to 30 degrees below normal. Many areas will drop
to zero or even below zero Wednesday morning.
