'Disaster emergency' declared in Canyon County as severe storms rip through Idaho – East Idaho News
(Idaho Statesman) — A “local disaster emergency” declaration was issued in Canyon County after a severe thunderstorm cell passed through the area on Wednesday.
The storm left downed trees along roads near Parma, caused a power outage, and damaged sheds and outbuildings, according to Aaron Williams, Canyon County director of Constituent Services. One person reportedly suffered a broken arm, but no more injuries or deaths were reported.
Williams told the Idaho Statesman that a possible tornado touched down within the emergency radius, which starts at Pearl Road and U.S. Highway 95, and goes north to the Payette County line.
Jackson Macfarlane, with the National Weather Service in Boise, told the Statesman on Wednesday evening that it would be “inappropriate” to call what happened a tornado at this point. He said a meteorological team would go to sites Thursday to investigate.
The weather service issued a severe thunderstorm watch earlier Wednesday for 19 counties in Idaho, including Canyon and Payette. Heavy storms producing hail and high winds blew through Southwest Idaho early in the afternoon along the U.S. 95 corridor.

“Declaring this as an emergency allows for additional resources to be utilized to serve the area that was impacted by the severe weather,” according to a news release from Canyon County. “This opens up an avenue to allow taxing districts who are providing support in the area to get reimbursed for possibly unanticipated costs.”

BOISE, Idaho — While some have resigned themselves to a rainy forecast this week across the Treasure Valley, some optimistic Idahoans are still holding out hope for the unlikely— the City of Boise blanketed in snow on Christmas morning.
While those wishes may (or may not) be answered this year, it’s worth noting that a White Christmas in Boise is not as common as some may think.

The National Weather Service in Boise just took a look back at the last 70 years to see how often the valley has been blessed with snowfall on Dec. 25.
Based on that data, the City of Boise averages a 25% chance of a White Christmas each year. The last time Boise had a White Christmas was in 2022.
The last time there was over 3 inches of snow on the ground on Christmas was 2017.

Idaho Falls Regional Airport long-term parking now full amid holiday travel rush – Local News 8
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) — Due to increased holiday travel, the Long-Term Parking Lot at Idaho Falls Regional is now full and temporarily closed. Airport officials issued an alert via social media, sharing photos of the packed lot and notifying passengers that while the Economy Lot on International Way remains an option, its availability is also becoming limited.
Addressing potential confusion for travelers on the ground, IDA explained that once the airport determines that safe access or traffic flow can no longer be maintained, the lot must be closed.
“You may notice open spaces in some areas — however, parking availability is managed based on operational and safety thresholds, not visual vacancy alone,” states the post. “When traffic flow or safe access can no longer be maintained, a lot may temporarily close even if some spaces remain.”
Airport leadership expressed their gratitude for the public’s patience during this peak holiday travel season, emphasizing that these restrictions are in place to ensure the safety of both passengers and their vehicles.
The airport is encouraging travelers to get a ride or use the Greater Idaho Falls Transit to avoid parking trouble. They’re also reminding flyers to arrive early and check flight status with their airline
