.SHORT TERM...Tonight through Friday...Scattered rain and snow
showers will continue across mainly the West Central and Boise
Mountains through Wednesday. Snow accumulation will be light with
around an inch of snow expected above 5000 feet through Wednesday.
Patchy fog and stratus could develop in the mountain valleys of 
Baker County and the West Central mountains tonight. Skies clear
for much of the region tonight with temperatures falling below
freezing. Another shortwave trough moves southeast across Western
Montana on Wednesday continuing the threat for snow showers in the
West Central Mountains of Idaho. This will also bring breezy
northwesterly winds to parts of Southeast Oregon and Southwest
Idaho. Drier conditions expected for Thursday and Friday as the
upper level ridge expands inland. This should bring warmer
temperatures aloft although possible setting up a weak valley
inversion. Temperatures will remain below normal through Friday.

.LONG TERM...Friday night through Tuesday...Dry surface cold
front and a short wave trough aloft will come in from the 
northwest Friday night, but mixing winds will keep 
temperatures mild through Saturday.  Sunday will be colder
as surface winds calm down.  Drier air under northerly flow
aloft will also help to lower temperatures, and new snow on
the ground in northern areas will lower temps even further,
resulting in patchy fog.  Cold air will continue in the 
valleys through Tuesday, but mountains will begin to warm 
Monday as an upper ridge comes in from the Pacific.
