Finally feels like spring

Happy National Barbecue Day . . .We've got another warm day around here and we cruise into the afternoon with highs in the upper 70's @77 for Idaho Falls and pushing 80 for Burley.

Afternoon storm chances at 40% for the day with an increased chance into Wednesday. Winds are calm to start and picking up S 10-20 or so this afternoon, especially gusty around storms.

I think you are going to love the weekend weather - alot warmer than our usual 67 seasonal average - more like 80's for Saturday and Sunday and even 90's for Salmon. Wha what?

-People from the South and Northeast are a little more likely to say "cookout."
