The closed low-pressure system will bring widespread showers and thunderstorms from Sandpoint south to the Central Mountains and over the Eastern Highlands. Showers are likely over the Southeast Highlands. There is a slight chance to a chance for showers and thunderstorms over the Treasure Valley and Upper Snake River Plain in the south and over the panhandle north of Sandpoint. Winds in the north will be from the south-southwest to west-southwest at 5-15 mph with gusts up to 20 mph. Winds in the south will be from the northwest to southwest at 5-20 mph in the afternoon with gusts up to 30 mph from the Magic Valley east.
The active weather pattern will continue to result in minimal wildfire activity over much of Idaho, while there has some minor fire growth on fires to the west. The central area of the state could see some lofted haze today but generally, smoke impacts will continue to be limited to areas immediately downwind of local fires. Smoke is expected to settle in adjacent mountain valleys overnight.
