A large organized area of convection produced winds in excess of 60 mph from Rome, Oregon to Payette, Idaho, a storm path of over 130 miles with a width of up to 100 miles, from Baker City, Oregon to just northwest of Boise, with reports being received over a four hour period. The storm displayed characteristics of a large bow echo, which is not commonly observed west of the Continental Divide. Winds were measured over 60 mph at a number of locations, and trees were knocked over causing blackouts and damaging homes.
The Emergency Manager command post reported wind damage and power outages across Payette County due to thunderstorm outflow winds out of the southeast.
A National Weather Service employee surveyed the Payette River near Payette and observed the river was out of bank and flooding fields and homes along State Highway 52.
Severe thunderstorms brought gusty winds to Boise causing some minor damage. Trees three-to four-feet in diameter were broken in two pieces. In Challis tree limbs were broken off while in Salmon and Arco sheds were mangled. In Soda Springs high winds toppled a tree and in Emmett fallen trees smashed a car. A house in Blackfoot was struck by lightning and a fire was started only causing minor damage. In McCall a man was struck and killed by lightning at a rodeo. Twelve others were injured by the strike.
