Yesterday's storm brought 0.1 to 0.4" of water to our area over the last 24 hours, mostly as rain. However, the Western Smokies and Sawtooths received 2 to 4" of snow. Banner, Galena Summit, and Pioneers saw 1" of new snow. Daytime temperatures topped out in the 30s°F before cooling into the 20s°F overnight. 

Today's temperatures will remain in the mid-to-high 20s F across most of our forecast area. It will be mostly cloudy today with moments of overcast. Scattered showers will linger throughout the day with a chance of anywhere from a trace to 1" of snow for the Sawtooth and Banner Summit areas. Winds will be light and mostly from the southwest.

Tomorrow, temperatures will warm slightly, reaching into the 30s F during the day, before dropping into the upper teens and 20s F overnight. No precipitation is expected tomorrow, and winds will remain light.

Looking ahead, Thursday and Friday evenings have a slight chance of rain and snow as the next system moves through. The bulk of this next wave will arrive over the weekend, bringing cool temperatures and more precipitation to the area.
