Tracking a winter storm starting Friday

0:00/ 0:00LIVEQuality1  AudioSubtitleSpeedNormal  

One more day of colder temps with lows this morning below zero or right at the line. Highs in the mid 20's. Then it will feel more like winter around here with snow flying and temps in the 32-25 degree range. With that comes the slick conditions, runoff and flooding, as the ground is frozen, and the continued flow of moisture that puts snow chances on the forecast page every day.

Today: Sunny and cold 22

Tonight clouding up with lows in the single digits above 0

Friday: Snow showers begin in the afternoon with temps back to seasonal averages, making it better for snow around here in the low 30's. Winds will be SW and 20-30mph. Winter Storm Watches in effect for mountain counties and eastern highlands and western Wyoming.

Accumulations will be 2-4" for Idaho Falls and we'll track those estimates as we get closer to "snow time".

Highs remain in the 30's and more snow chances mixed with rain into Saturday. Slick conditions and gusty winds make for hazardous travel for the next few days.
