Sunny and cold, with areas of AM fog
A ridge of high pressure remains in place through Sunday morning. With this ridge, we'll continue to see an inversion. An inversion is sinking air, with cold air hanging low in elevation. Overnight lows in the Snake River Plain will be close to zero with sub-zero morning wind chills. Daytime highs will reach into the mid 30's, with light winds. This inversion will create increased stagnation, increasing surface pollutants.
