IDAHO FALLS — Light snow is falling throughout eastern Idaho Thursday morning causing slick roads and some minor snow accumulation.
The National Weather Service predicts snow levels are expected to gradually rise through the morning as the precipitation shifts east toward the Wyoming border this afternoon, according to the forecast.
Snow accumulation of up to three inches is possible today on area highways running up into the higher elevation areas along the Idaho/Wyoming border. Motorists encountering snow covered roadways should use caution and slow down to give yourself extra time and distance to react to adverse conditions.
