BY THIS AFTERNOON. STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE FROM MID-
AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY EVENING. HAIL..WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 60
MPH AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL ARE POSSIBLE WITH THESE STORMS. BY
TONIGHT...ANY THREAT OF STRONG/SEVERE STORMS WILL BE GONE AND

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS AND DRY FUELS WILL LEAD TO A CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER SITUATION OVER PORTIONS OF THE SNAKE PLAIN...MAGIC VALLEY

UNTIL 10 PM. PLEASE SEE RFWPIH FOR MORE INFORMATION.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY
DRIER CONDITIONS WILL RETURN FOR THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK.
HOWEVER...THERE WILL BE ENOUGH MOISTURE FOR ISOLATED MOUNTAIN

SYSTEM WILL CROSS THE AREA AND PULL A LITTLE BIT MORE MOISTURE OUR
WAY. FOR THE REST OF NEXT WEEK...A SIMILAR PATTERN TO THE ONE FOR
THE PAST FEW DAYS IS SHOWING UP IN THE MODELS. THIS WOULD MEAN A
SURGE OF MOISTURE WILL PUSH BACK INTO EASTERN IDAHO AND INCREASE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE. FOR NOW...WE ARE EASING IN THAT
DIRECTION AND WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH TO SEE HOW THINGS UNFOLD.
