While Super Bowl Sunday will remain warm and partly sunny, Monday will kick off with cooler temperatures and unpredictable weather, setting the stage for a dynamic and intriguing start. Beginning late Sunday night, the persistent high-pressure ridge over our region will break down, allowing moisture to return to the area overnight. We’ll begin Monday morning with rain and snow mixtures across Eastern Idaho and Western Wyoming.

Sunday afternoon will see skies slowly filling with clouds as the weather system moving in prepares to bring rain and snow. A large swath of clouds advances toward the Snake River Plain in the afternoon hours of Sunday, but temperatures remain above average, with many places still sitting in the mid-50s for the end of the weekend. Expect partly sunny conditions and a high near 53°, followed by increasing clouds Sunday night and a chance of rain after 11 p.m. with overnight lows around 37°. Winds will begin to pick up, with gusts up to 20 mph.

Rain showers will pass over the Snake River Plain for the start of Monday, with some snow mixing in later. Most of the snow will favor the higher terrain. No significant accumulation is expected with this snow system. 2-3 inches will be visible around places like Island Park and Jackson. Rain is likely before noon, then a rain/snow mix with scattered mountain snow showers throughout the day. The Snake River Plain tops out near 45° with little or no accumulation expected and precipitation chances around 60%.

Precipitation chances are expected to decrease slightly on Tuesday and Wednesday; however, light snow flurries may continue intermittently throughout the week. This Sunday will be the last day of unseasonably warm temperatures, as we can expect a return to more typical temperatures for this time of year in the coming week.

Enjoy the sunshine for the remainder of this weekend, as we will begin to see a shift in the weather starting Sunday night. High pressure around the area will slowly begin to break down, bringing rain and snow to the region by the start of this upcoming week. While this weekend offers plenty of clear skies and warm temperatures, we’ll return to more seasonable conditions within the next few days.

Saturday remains a quiet and pleasant day, with a mixture of sun and clouds and a springlike feel for early February. Highs reach the lower 50s across the Snake River Plain, with south-southwest wind of 5–10 mph. Lows will fall into the upper 20s and low 30s for Saturday evening.

Sunday morning and afternoon will stay abnormally dry and warm as the high-pressure system around us breaks down and slowly weakens the moisture system into our area. Expect partly sunny conditions and a high near 53°, followed by increasing clouds Sunday night and a chance of rain after 11 p.m. with overnight lows around 37°. Winds will begin to pick up, with gusts into the 20 mph range.

Rain showers for the start of Monday, with some snow mixing in later. Most of the snow will favor the higher terrain. No significant accumulation is expected with this snow system.

2.6.2026 – Parental Choice, Capitol Wins, & Article V Debate, INTERVIEW: Rep. Barbara Ehardt">

Send us a text

lively episode, kicking off with the hosts Neal Larson and Julie Mason celebrating a significant win for parental choice in Idaho: the Idaho Supreme Court’s unanimous decision to uphold House Bill 93. This bill, which provides up to $5,000 per child (or $7,500 for special needs) in refundable tax credits for education options outside traditional public schools, survived a lawsuit that the hosts argue relied on debunked constitutional arguments and manufactured urgency. They highlight how this ruling is a victory for families, shifting the education paradigm to prioritize children over institutional norms and demonstrating a clear desire from parents for diverse learning choices. We also hear an update from Representative Barbara Ehardt on the celebratory mood at the Capitol, the progress of an anti-discrimination ordinance, and a spirited debate on the contentious Article V Convention of States, where lawmakers and callers weigh in on its merits and risks.

Amidst the political discussions, the show brought in some welcome variety with local artist Corwin Belnap, who not only performed a beautiful rendition of “To Make You Feel My Love” but also shared insights into his new podcast, “Saints in the Spotlight,” which explores the experiences of Christians in the entertainment industry. The episode also sprinkled in lighthearted Super Bowl predictions from listeners, a quick update on other news like the Benghazi architect’s apprehension, and a bit of fun banter about music choices and upcoming weekend plans. It was a packed show, balancing serious policy wins and legislative debates with engaging guest segments and listener interaction, all with a distinct local Idaho focus.
