Windy all week long; isolated mountain snow showers

KIFI

We’re caught between two air masses this week, keeping a tight pressure gradient making for more wind. A few cold fronts are sliding through the region. We’ll see isolated mountain snow showers, along with the gusty winds

For Monday night, we’ll see clouds spilling down from the north. There is a slight chance of snow. Winds will drive in from the southwest around 15-25 mph, with gusts over 30 mph. Low temperatures will hover around 32°.

Tuesday will be partly sunny for the Snake River Plain. Meanwhile, our mountain locations near the Montana and Wyoming state lines will see a chance of isolated snow. High temperatures will reach the lower to mid 40’s in the Snake River Plain. Winds will be from the southwest around 15 to 25 mph, with gusts as high as 35 mph.
