Warnings and Notices

	Winter Weather Advisory
Statement as of 4:13 AM MDT on October 11, 2008 ... Winter Weather Advisory now in effect until 12 PM MDT Sunday... The Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect until 12 PM MDT Sunday. Snow will spread across the Snake River Valley today and continue through Sunday morning. Snowfall amounts of 3 to 6 inches are expected by Sunday afternoon. Strong northerly winds... particularly through the Arco desert region... may produce areas of blowing and drifting that may reduce visibilities below one mile. A Winter Weather Advisory for snow means that periods of snow will cause primarily travel difficulties. Be prepared for snow covered roads and limited visibilities... and use caution while driving.
