Windy Conditions Wednesday

Summer is back, and the temperature is rising. Moderate heat risk impacts are expected across lower elevations of central Idaho as high temperatures reach into the triple digits. If you will be spending time outside, make sure you drink plenty of water, take frequent breaks, avoid strenuous activity during the afternoon hours. Also, don’t leave children or pets in parked vehicles and be sure to check in on those who are sensitive to the heat, such as the elderly and the very young.

An approaching dry cold front will increase winds out of the west and southwest on Wednesday. Dry and hot conditions are concerning for fire weather and people with interests or plans to recreate on area lakes should make necessary precautions and adjustments. Gusty winds can also be an overall nuisance. Red Flag Warnings and Lake Wind Advisories have been issued for certain areas.
