BEGINNING THURSDAY NIGHT OCCASIONAL SNOWFALL WILL BEGIN ACROSS EASTERN IDAHO. SNOW WILL MAINLY AFFECT THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON. FOR SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY ALL MOUNTAIN LOCATIONS COULD BE AFFECTED.

THE PERIOD THAT WOULD SEE THE HIGHEST IMPACT WOULD BE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. THE MOUNTAINS MAY SEE MODERATE SNOWFALL WITH THE LOWER ELEVATIONS SEEING SNOW POSSIBLY MIXING WITH RAIN FOR A TIME.

THE LATEST FORECASTS INDICATE IT WOULD BE BREEZY AT TIMES SO THE COMBINATION OF SNOW AND WIND WOULD LEAD TO SOME BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW.

WHILE THERE IS GROWING CONFIDENCE THAT WE WILL SEE WEATHER RELATED IMPACTS FOR THIS TIMEFRAME IT IS STILL TOO FAR OUT TO TIME THINGS OUT IN MORE DETAIL AND ALSO PLACING AREAS OF SNOW AND STRONGER WINDS.

THIS IS JUST A HEADS UP FOR THOSE WHO WILL BE TRAVELING OR EVEN HAVE OUTDOOR PLANS LEADING UP TO CHRISTMAS. PLEASE STAY TUNED TO THE LATEST FORECASTS AND ANY POSSIBLE WEATHER HAZARD STATEMENTS IN THE COMING DAYS.
