A red flag warning has been issued for the central mountains and upper reaches of the Snake Plains.
Flows and winds will be lighter on Friday, with less chance of storms. Around 90 and 80 are cooler. This does clear the way for some hazy conditions with south west winds 10-25+mph.
Wake up at 8 a.m. on Monday for special announcements from 6 to 7 a.m. This weekend, when you get a chance, rescan your TV to receive our new signal for over-the-air viewers. We have a new transmitter and antenna to better serve the area – and it's free for those with HDTV antennas.
The forecast for Saturday afternoon shows we'll once again be sheltered from thunderstorms with gusty winds, starting around mid-afternoon in the Pocatello and Blackfoot areas. Under the influence of windy weather, temperatures will rise from the mid-80s to the mid-to-low 80s. So download our KIFI Weather App to keep you safe at lakes, pools and outdoor activities.
With a brief break in the heat receding and showers watering the gardens, the weather is back to its slow summer warmer, with temperatures approaching 100 degrees by next Friday. Watch FutureTrack's updated video forecast and live broadcast at noon and tonight for the latest on tomorrow's storm arrival.
