Chilly, mostly cloudy with wind chills today making it feel like the teens/single digits , highs into the mid 30's. SW winds 10-15 mph, with gusts around 20 mph.

Mostly sunny into tomorrow with highs into the lower 30's and upper 20's. Wind gusts into the 20-30 mph range. A chance of snow in our mountains  and we'll cloud up ahead of more snow chances Sunday and that means a dusting possible for the valley.  Winds are going to bust temperatures with wind chills to single digits tomorrow morning, some sub-zero wind chills in the mountains. 

Saturday:  mid 30's and a partly to mostly cloudy sky.

Sunday ramps up more more moisture and snow chances kick in for Idaho falls and mountains with an inch possible for Jackson. 1/2 inch into the valley to make it feel like Christmas around here.
