Extreme Cold Warning In Effect

0:00/ 0:00LIVEQualityAuto  AudioSubtitleSpeedNormal  

The Upper Snake River Plain and Mud Lake Desert/Arco/INL areas will have dangerously cold morning wind chills at or near -25 below. Exposed skin at this temperature can result in frostbite in minutes. Less populated areas will have the coldest readings more than likely. You'lll wake up to -9 and wind chills for Idaho Falls at -15 to -20 below. Cover your face, ears, hands and limit exposure to winds and cold.

Highs today with sunshine and 22. Wind chills continue to make frostbite an issue with it feeling like -15 below today.

Mostly clear skies continue tonight and that is still gonna keep our temps below zero at -2.

Tuesday will be mostly sunny and slightly warmer at 26.

The days ahead will all begin to flirt with the freezing mark and Salmon jumps beyond that, which will cause melting then refreezing overnights. Some 40's in view for Pocatello early on and then we take on snow chances at 60% this weekend to make things slicker and refreeze. We'll probably be in for more snow in early February.
