IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI)- A dry and hot Mother’s Day will set the stage for a few days of high temperatures running over 20 degrees above average. Record or near record highs could be possible Monday through Wednesday. Dry conditions expected until midweek.

Sunny and a high around 79 for Mother’s Day on Sunday. Light winds around 5 to 10 mph, some gusts could reach 18 mph. Partly cloudy Sunday night with a low near 45.
