Most of the counties along the Idaho/Wyoming border are under a winter storm warning. Heavy snow of four to nine inches is expected, with even more at the highest elevations.
The rest of eastern Idaho is under a winter weather advisory. At least four inches of snow and as much as seven inches are predicted throughout eastern Idaho. The lower elevations will experience gusting winds as high as 40 mph.
Both the storm warning and winter advisory are set to expire at 11 p.m. Friday.
