Monday and Tuesday will be extremely cold in eastern Idaho – East Idaho News
IDAHO FALLS — It’s will be extremely cold in eastern Idaho on Monday and Tuesday, according to the most recent forecast from the National Weather Service.
Monday morning lows will range from -5° F to -10° F from Montpelier to Pocatello and northward and -10°F to -20°F from Driggs to Rexburg and northward, according to NWS.
But it’s the wind chill that is going to make it really bad. NWS has issued an extreme cold warning on Monday morning from 1 a.m. to 9 a.m. due to wind chill that will make some area range from -20° F to -30°F.
These temperatures can cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 10 minutes.
Afternoon highs on Monday will struggle to make it into the double digits in the Upper Snake River Plain.
Tuesday morning lows will generally range from -5° F to -15° F through much of the Snake River Plain and Eastern Highlands. With wind chill, Tuesday morning will range from -10°F to -20°F, so NWS is monitoring the need to extend the extreme cold warning for some areas.
Much of eastern Idaho will warm into the teens and low 20s on Tuesday afternoon. Wind gusts both Monday and Tuesday will be around 15 to 20 mph, according to NWS.
Officials recommend dressing in layers, including a hat, face mask, and gloves if you must go outside. To prevent water pipes from freezing; wrap or drain or allow them to drip slowly.

MISSOULA, Mont. — An Idaho Falls angler is back in the Idaho record books after landing a record-setting lake trout at Payette Lake.
Idaho Fish and Game said Dylan Smith caught and released a 43.25-inch lake trout on May 2, setting a new state catch-and-release record for the species. The fish surpassed the previous record of 42 inches.
The catch marks Smith’s second appearance in Idaho’s record books. He previously held the state catch-and-release lake trout record after landing a trophy fish in 2018 before that mark was later broken.
According to Fish and Game, Payette Lake has become one of Idaho’s premier lake trout fisheries thanks to years of management efforts aimed at improving both lake trout and kokanee populations.
Pride Month looks different this June along Boise’s Harrison Boulevard, where a long-standing tradition of hanging Pride flags on lamp posts has been put on hold after a new state law restricted which flags can be flown on government property.
For several years, Pride flags lined lamp posts along Harrison Boulevard in Boise’s North End neighborhood. But Idaho House Bill 561, signed by Gov. Brad Little in March, restricts which flags can be flown on government property, including the City of Boise’s Harrison lamp posts.
In response, a group of neighbors formed Pride North End and launched a distribution effort to help residents show support from their own front yards. The group has been making Pride flags and yard signs available to people who want to display them at home.
“I thought that I would…be a personal example of ‘yes, this is what I do.’ This is what I believe in,” said Edna Schochat, a North End resident.
Pride North End has already distributed more than 900-yard signs and 250 flags. The group’s original donation goal was around $2,000 to order 100 flags and 200 yard signs, but it has exceeded that GoFundMe goal, reaching $10,000 worth of donations.
The group plans to continue holding public flag and sign distributions through the end of the month.
“We cannot just say something without doing something that proves that we mean what we say,” Schochat said.
Pride North End said any leftover funds after materials are distributed will go to local LGBTQ+ nonprofits. A link to the group’s GoFundMe can be found here.
