Warming Temperatures March 25-26

Strong Thunderstorms Possible

Confidence remains high that a ridge of high pressure will bring above normal temperatures to the Northern Rockies around March 25-26, with the potential for high temps rising above 70 degrees in north central Idaho valleys (or as high was 80 degrees in Orofino on Weds!) and select western Montana valleys.

Early spring thunderstorms are becoming increasingly likely this Wednesday and Thursday. A few storms could strengthen to strong levels, especially Wednesday afternoon and evening. The greatest risk will focus on Idaho, Clearwater, and Lemhi Counties. Hazards include strong, gusty winds potentially exceeding 50 mph, along with the chance for hail. Stay alert!
