* Central Idaho Dispatch Area weather impact summary (Zones 475
and 476)...
Drier conditions overall today, but a few isolated thunderstorms
will stay in the forecast for this afternoon and evening. Any
stronger storm today would be capable of producing wind gusts
around 40 to 50 mph. The bulk of Saturday`s activity will remain
outside of the Central Mountains, but an isolated storm still
can`t be ruled out. Near critical fire weather conditions will
exist on Saturday with min RHs around 20 percent and wind gusts
of 20 to 30 mph. Expect even lower RHs on Sunday with breezy winds
again, leading to critical fire weather conditions.

be just under RFW criteria for most of our zones, aside from a few
pockets out across the desert.
