URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Boise ID
134 PM MST Tue Nov 19 2024

...POTENT PACIFIC STORM BRINGING VERY WET WEATHER...

.A rapidly intensifying Pacific storm will carry lots of moisture 
through the area. Snow on Wednesday expected to accumulate in high 
elevations, switching to rain/mixed precip below 7000-8000 feet on 
Thursday. The steady warming accompanying the system makes the 
accumulation forecast particularly tricky as most of the area warms 
above freezing by Thursday afternoon, but this at least suggests 
impacts may be shortlived. Liquid equivalent and rainfall amounts 
will be highest on Thursday. Periods of moderate snowfall rates 
possible Thursday morning.
