SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
Issue Date: 429 AM MST THU DEC 10 2009
Expiration: 430 PM MST THU DEC 10 2009

...WARMER WEATHER RETURNS THIS WEEKEND ALONG WITH MORE SNOW...
A PROLONGED PERIOD OF WARMER AND WET WEATHER BEGINS FRIDAY NIGHT
AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND BEYOND. THE WEEKEND WILL
BE THE BEST TIME THAT ALL ELEVATIONS OF EASTERN IDAHO WILL SEE NEW
SNOWFALL. SINCE THE FLOW WILL BE FROM THE PACIFIC AND NOT THE
CANADA...THE AIRMASS WILL BE WARMER. THIS WILL ALLOW HIGHS TO REACH
THE LOW TO MID 30S IN THE LOWER VALLEYS. THIS ALSO WILL MEAN THAT
NEW SNOW WILL BE WETTER IN NATURE. WHILE DETAILS SUCH AS THE EXACT
LOCATION OF HEAVIER SNOWS AND EXACT AMOUNTS...IT DOES APPEAR THAT
THE MOUNTAINS WILL SEE SEVERAL INCHES OF NEW SNOW THROUGH SUNDAY.
THE SNAKE PLAIN WILL LIKELY SEE SNOW...BUT AMOUNTS WILL BE MUCH LOWER.
BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL ALSO DEVELOP WHICH WOULD MEAN SOME AREAS
COULD SEE SOME BLOWING AND/OR DRIFTING SNOW. PLEASE STAY TUNED TO
THE LATEST FORECAST AND ANY POSSIBLE STATEMENTS REGARDING THIS
CHANGE IN THE WEATHER PATTERN FOR EASTERN IDAHO.
