Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Hailey, ID

SHORT TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/
Issued at 218 AM MDT Wed Apr 30 2025

Expect to see showers ending this morning. The best chances are across southeast Idaho where a secondary front is moving through the area. Some of the models are showing isolated thunderstorms redeveloping this afternoon in the northwest flow. The HRRR especially shows this, but the NAM not as much. With that said, not expecting any severe storms if they should develop. Perhaps some small hail or gusty winds. Temperatures today are expected to be closer to normal. Any shower activity should dissipate this evening with high pressure building into the region. Expect dry weather for Thursday with above normal temperatures. Much of the Snake Plain and Magic Valley will be around 70 for highs on Thursday.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
Issued at 218 AM MDT Wed Apr 30 2025

Confidence remains high that a short-lived/progressive ridge of high pressure will secure dry, low-impact, and WARM conditions Friday, with low-elevation high temperatures generally reaching 70-80 degrees outside of a few slightly cooler valleys especially along the Wyoming border. These temperatures hold steady for Saturday as shower and thunderstorm potential increases during the afternoon ahead of our next system. All guidance continues to support a big, sprawling, slow-moving, absolute UNIT of a low pressure system Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, bringing rounds of rain/showers, afternoon thunderstorms, breezy conditions, and cooler temperatures.
3-day QPF totals have inched up slightly, generally 0.20 to 0.60 inches in our valleys and plains, and 0.60 to 1.25 inches across most of our mountain ranges. Snow levels will remain high enough to only support accumulations at the highest peaks. Ensemble clusters and the latest deterministic runs of the long range model suite continue to highlight uncertainty in how quickly this system ejects eastward into the Plains and away from our area, but it likely won't happen before Tuesday afternoon.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/
Issued at 359 AM MDT Wed Apr 30 2025

Gradually clearing skies and slackening winds today as high pressure builds in. Lingering MVFR cigs at KPIH and KDIJ this morning should mix out between 13-15z/7-9am. A few isolated showers or a thunderstorm are possible this afternoon, but overall potential/confidence remain too low for mention in TAFs.
