Lightning on Sunday and again Monday morning has sparked new fires in southwest Idaho and as of 8pm MT there have been at least 22 new fires in Idaho on Monday! A Red Flag Warning continues for all areas through midnight. Keep an eye out for any smoke plumes in your neighborhood.
In addition to new fires, the NWS recorded a wind gust of 63 mph and in the Boise foothills and many parts of central Idaho wind gusts topped 55 mph. A large tree was reported down in Casasde and thousands were with out power across southern and central Idaho.
Temperatures in the 90s Monday will cool by ten degrees by Tuesday back into the mid-80s with a refreshing northwest breeze.
Temps will hold in the 80s through Wednesday then rise back into the 90s for Friday and next weekend.
