The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Pocatello, ID wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jan 10, 1:50 PM MST, 9 hours 10 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pocatello ID 150 PM MST Fri Jan 10 2025 .SHORT TERM...Tonight and Saturday Afternoon satellite imagery shows gradually increasing clouds across the region as an upper level trough continues to move closer to the region this afternoon. Snow will begin in the central mountains over the next few hours and overspread into areas south and east throughout the evening and into the overnight, continuing into the day on Saturday across the eastern and southeastern highlands. In addition to the snow, winds will be a concern for parts of the area and a Wind Advisory remains in effect across the eastern Magic Valley, South Hills and Raft River region. Here, winds of 25-35 mph with gusts as high as 55 will be possible beginning around 8-9PM tonight and continue for much of the first half of the day on Saturday before gradually diminishing into Saturday afternoon and evening. The highest winds/gusts will be focused across the higher terrain areas in these zones but the lower valleys certainly won't be exempt from the wind. Shifting back to the snow, not much has changed from the previous forecast and totals remain relatively unchanged. Much of our interstate corridors will see some light snowfall (a few tenths to 2 inches, at best. For the central mountains, we should see anywhere to from a Trace to 2", with around 4" on the highest ridgelines. For the South Hills/Albion Mountains, anywhere from a dusting to 4" is expected...highest on top of Pomerelle and similar elevations. For the eastern and southeast highlands, look for up to 3" for lower elevations and 4-6" for the mountains. Locally higher amounts are possible above pass level for the Bear River Range and Big Holes. Flirted with the idea of a Winter Weather Advisory in these areas but it's pretty marginal given that it is January and totals aren't all that high so continued to hold off. Most of the snow will taper off by mid-afternoon tomorrow leaving just some lingering snow showers across some of the higher terrain areas in the east into late Saturday but not much in the way of additional accumulation appears likely. McKaughan .LONG TERM...Sunday through next Friday As a H5 trough exits to the east on Sunday, cold and moist northerly flow will keep very isolated mountain snow showers going ahead of dry conditions returning regionwide starting Monday under the increasing influence of high pressure overhead. As a Rex Block sets up for next week with a ridge of high pressure situated overtop a weak H5 low off the SRN California Coast, cold and dry conditions are expected to continue through much of next week. Our next potential system moving in looks to be around next Friday into the weekend with a similar track to the Friday/Saturday system this week with another cold front possible. Given we are a week out, we will continue to monitor this for any possible changes but for now will continue to maintain a extended forecast with minimal impacts under dry conditions with light winds each day. MacKay && .AVIATION...18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday. As low clouds and fog continue to gradually burn off, early afternoon radar imagery shows a quick moving cold front working NW to SE through the PacNW with widespread snow expected at all terminals later today into Saturday morning. MVFR/IFR CIGS/VIS will be possible as this front passes through with lingering snow showers and low clouds throughout the day on Saturday as conditions improve progressively. Winds will also ramp up with the front after sunset into the overnight hours of which will be strongest across the Snake River Plain at KPIH and KBYI, peaking around 15-30 kts with gusts to 25-45 kts. Winds at KIDA, KSUN, and KDIJ will generally remain less than 15 kts. As winds and snow subside later in the day Saturday, dry conditions and lighter winds will return for Sunday outside of very isolated mountain snow showers. MacKay && .PIH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Wind Advisory from 9 PM this evening to 5 PM MST Saturday for IDZ051-055>057. &&
