Weekend Weather Outlook: Hot, Breezy, and Stormy

East Idaho and western Wyoming remains sandwiched between two major weather systems: a strengthening high-pressure area near the Four Corners and a persistent area of low pressure off the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia coast. This setup will continue through the weekend and much of next week.

Expect more thunderstorm activity this weekend before a much drier air mass moves in from the south starting Monday. A deep southerly flow will usher in a significant warming trend, pushing daytime highs into the low to mid 90s by Tuesday.
