More wind and rain today
Pretty consistent Pacific river of moisture, like a firehouse across the area keeps us wet. With another push from low pressure by Wednesday, we'll have mixed rain with hits of snow into Christmas Eve and Day. Today with consistent temps about 20 degrees above average, we ride the 49, and into the low 50's for Pocatello. Icy roads in the back country and avalanche warnings for Island Park and West Yellowstone shaded in blue for central Idaho adventurers. Seriously dangerous life threatening conditions in the back country.
Rain and highland snow/sleet today with winds 15-20/G 30mph. Winter weather advisories for the eastern highlands traveling into eastern Bonneville county, north to Fremont county and Winter storm warnings for western Wyoming around Jackson and Alpine. Avalanche warnings in blue, see map.
Continued mild for the days until Christmas, 40's and 50's, even in Jackson. Colder air before the new year, but still above average temperatures 30s. Average high this time of year is 28. Some spots may see some snow late Christmas night, and all this could stretch into a timed weather slush fest dependent on fronts and arrivals with colder air.
