...A PERIOD OF SNOWFALL LATE THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT WILL LEAD TO
SLICK DRIVING CONDITIONS...

A cold front will swing through southeast Idaho tonight, bringing
a round of snowfall to the area. Snow will begin late this
afternoon and early evening for higher terrain areas such as Pine
Creek Pass, Ashton Hill and Island Park, with snow beginning from
Idaho Falls southwest to Burley around midnight, and finally the 
far southeast corner such as Preston and Bear Lake shortly after 
midnight. Snow will end across the Snake Plain by mid Sunday 
morning, but continue in the far southeast corner until Sunday 
evening. Generally 1 to 3 inches of snow is expected, with 
locally higher amounts for favored areas such as Pine Creek Pass, 
bench areas outside of Pocatello and the Idaho portion of the 
Wasatch. Travelers should expect wintry travel conditions and 
allow extra time to reach their destinations.
