A storm system will move through the region Friday and bring widespread precipitation to eastern Idaho which will continue into the day on Saturday. Although temperatures may initially support rain or a rain/snow mix in the Snake Plain and Magic Valley, an eventual changeover to all snow is expected during the late afternoon hours and into the evening. 1-3 inches of snow can be expected in these areas, locally higher amounts on the benches possible, by Saturday afternoon. Areas above 5500 ft or so will remain all snow throughout this event so amounts in the eastern and southeastern highlands will likely reach 3-6 inches, isolated higher amounts at and above pass level. $$ McKaughan
