ISSUED AT 115 AM MDT FRI OCT 31 2025
ANOTHER ROUND OF MID AND UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS ARE MOVING THROUGH
EASTERN IDAHO EARLY THIS MORNING. THESE CLOUDS ARE HELPING TO KEEP
US JUST A FEW DEGREES WARMER THIS MORNING, STARTING THE DAY IN THE
MID 20S TO NEAR 30 FOR MOST. THEY WILL KEEP MOVING SOUTHEAST AND
WILL BE OUT OF THE AREA BY MID MORNING, LEADING TO MORE SUNSHINE FOR
MIDDAY AND THE AFTERNOON AS WE WARM INTO THE UPPER 40S AND LOW TO
MID 50S. THIS BODES WELL FOR ANYONE HEADING OUT FOR SOME TRICK-OR-
TREATING THIS EVENING AS TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOL, BUT GENERALLY
JUST ON EITHER SIDE OF THE 50 DEGREE MARK AROUND 6 PM IN THE LOWER
ELEVATIONS AND VALLEYS. IT WILL STAY DRY, TOO, WITH LIGHT AND
VARIABLE WINDS. TODAY'S WEATHER LINES UP WELL WITH OUR NORMALS FOR
THE END OF OCTOBER. NOT TO BREAK A PATTERN, ANOTHER ROUND OF
OVERNIGHT CLOUDS WILL PASS THROUGH EASTERN IDAHO AS WE HEAD INTO
SATURDAY MORNING, BUT ONCE AGAIN WE ARE NOT EXPECTING ANY
PRECIPITATION WITH THESE CLOUDS AND THEY WILL KEEP US IN THE UPPER
20S TO MID 30S FOR SATURDAY MORNING. SATURDAY WILL BE NEARLY A
REPEAT OF TODAY WITH HIGHS BEING A COUPLE OF DEGREES WARMER ONCE
AGAIN.
LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 1236 PM MDT THU OCT 30 2025
ANOTHER LOW SKIRTS BY TO OUR NORTH FOR SUNDAY. THE MAIN ISSUE
AREAWIDE WILL BE SOME INCREASE IN WIND, BUT NOTHING OF IMPACT IT
APPEARS AS OF RIGHT NOW. THERE WILL BE SOME LIGHT
SHOWERS/SPRINKLES/FLURRIES ACROSS THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS (MOSTLY
IN THE SAWTOOTHS) AND AROUND ISLAND PARK. THE PATTERN REMAINS
SIMILAR THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK AS THE STATE IS
SANDWICHED BETWEEN LOWS PASSING TO OUR NORTH AND HIGH PRESSURE
ANCHORED TO OUR SOUTH. WE COULD SEE A FEW
SHOWERS/SPRINKLES/FLURRIES ACROSS THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND
ISLAND PARK. WEDNESDAY WILL EITHER BE DRY AS A BONE OR THE EXACT
OPPOSITE. CURRENT TRENDS IN THE MODELS ARE DRIER, BUT THE BLEND
OF MODELS (WHICH INCLUDES MULTIPLE FORECAST "IDEAS") IS ALREADY
BRINGING PRECIPITATION. EITHER WAY, A PATTERN CHANGE IS LIKELY
FOR THE END OF NEXT WEEK BRINGING A LOT OF MOISTURE OUR WAY AND
COOLER TEMPERATURES. SPEAKING OF TEMPERATURES, UNTIL THAT
PATTERN CHANGE HAPPENS DO LOOK FOR WARMER TEMPERATURES. HIGHS
STARTING THIS WEEKEND AND THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK SHOULD BE
IN THE MID 50S TO MID 60S. THAT IS THE OFFICIAL BLEND FORECAST.
ON THE HIGHER END OF THE RANGES, WARMER SPOTS STILL COULD BE
PUSHING 70. ON THE COLDER END OF THE SPECTRUM OF POSSIBILITIES,
WE COULD EASILY NOT MAKE IT OUT OF THE 50S.
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 423 AM MDT FRI OCT 31 2025
SOME SCT TO BKN MID AND UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS ARE MOVING THROUGH THE
AREA EARLY THIS MORNING. EVEN SO, CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN
VFR AS THESE CLOUDS ARE CERTAINLY HIGH ENOUGH TO NOT BRING IMPACTS
TO OUR TERMINALS AND WE WILL SEE A BREAK IN THE CLOUD COVER MID TO
LATE MORNING BEFORE ANOTHER ROUND OF CLOUD COVER ARRIVES OVERNIGHT.
WINDS REMAIN LIGHT AND VARIABLE TODAY.
PIH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
NONE.
