Good Morning Idaho!

We are starting this week off warmer (many online comments have been calling this "fake" spring).

A warm front will lift through the area bringing a spike in temperatures and a burst of showers into 9am. This will bring on a possibility of thunderstorms along the Western Treasure Valley into the West Central Mountains today. Snow levels will rise 6,000-7,000ft. Bringing all rain to Mountain Valleys and Valley floors.

Winds will continue to increase into the afternoon bringing strong wind gusts across higher terrain. A wind advisory has been issued for Harney County, with 40mph-55mph gusts possible. Secure loose items outdoors, and prepare for possible power outages.
SW Idaho will receive gusts between 15 mph and 25 mph.

Keep the umbrella into Tuesday, a cold front will slowly move in bringing in a line of showers across NE Oregon into The East and West Central Mountains. Gusts at 26 mph are expected to continue. Snow levels will start at 5,000 ft-6,000 ft. Then near 3,000-4,500ft Tuesday morning.
