A warning from NOAA and the NWS in Pocatello says the strong thunderstorms are possible Tuesday and Wednesday in parts of Southern Idaho. Some locations are likely to be hit harder than others the further east they are in the state.

Flash flooding and heavy winds are the primary threats in this storm system and a flash flood watch alert was sent out in an email for the Sawtooth/Stanley basin from 2 to 9PM on Wednesday. Rock and mud slides are also a possibility.

The storms will be at their worst and spread from central Idaho to the east beginning Wednesday afternoon into the evening. While the main storms will happen in central and eastern Idaho, other parts of Idaho will also see inclement weather.

Twin Falls and Boise have a possibility of thunderstorms and small hail on Wednesday.

Further north, Lewiston is looking at a different weather issue as a heat advisory is in effect for their area today.
