Slightly cooler with storm chances increasing later

We have a better chance of scrambling through the afternoon and evening with severe thunderstorms today with an unsettled atmosphere. Dry thunderstorms yesterday did not help battling wildland fires that popped up in the heat of the day.  Winds were gusty through yesterday evening at up to 60mph.  Today more clouds and less heat, we are watching the chances of showers and storms, isolated, with highs dipping to the upper 80's to around 90.  Ripe for ignition of storms with hot winds and hail and lightning, which does promote the heightened risk of fires in dry conditions. 

Storm chances increase by tomorrow and Friday around 50-60%.  Highs in the 80s, but slightly above average for this time of year. Accompanying outflow winds to any storms is something we'll be tracking as well, due to all the fireworks for Ammon on Thursday and Rexburg, Pocatello, Idaho Falls on Friday. 

We are tracking showers/storms for lower valley/Pocatello for parades and travel. There may be some lousy weather Friday morning around parade times into Idaho Falls as well. We will stay ahead of possibilities in the days to come. Winds into Friday 25mph, and at this point better shower/storm chances earlier in the afternoon and evening, before fireworks. We will know more as we get closer. Stay cool, hydrated and weather aware with the KIFI First Alert Weather app in the app store. Download it today.
