A cold front swept through southern Idaho Monday, bringing breezy northwesterly winds and significantly colder temperatures that will persist through Tuesday before conditions moderate later in the week.

Wind gusts reached 30 to 40 mph from Mountain Home east across the western Magic Valley. The combination of colder air and breezy winds completely mixed out the valley inversion that had been trapping fog and creating stagnant conditions in recent days.

Winds will diminish late Monday with light winds expected Tuesday. Tonight's low temperature will drop to around 28 degrees with north winds around 6 mph becoming calm in the evening.

Tuesday will see mostly sunny skies with a high near 47 degrees. A slight chance of rain is possible Tuesday night before 11 p.m., with mostly cloudy skies
