Wet Weather Forecast for Southern Idaho
BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — Southern Idaho is bracing for a day of wet weather as an intense low-pressure system lingers off the Washington coast. Showers are expected to commence late this morning, extending through the afternoon and potentially into the evening. This weather pattern is a shift from the recent southwesterly flow, which has now transitioned to a more westerly direction, allowing moisture to funnel into the Treasure Valley. As a result, residents can anticipate an increased likelihood of showers, particularly in high-elevation areas where mountain snow is also on the forecast.
Winds will be a significant factor today, with breezy to windy conditions expected. Wind speeds are likely to range from 8 to 13 mph, with gusts potentially reaching up to 22 mph in Boise and 30 mph in parts of the Treasure Valley.
Looking ahead, showers are forecasted to persist into Friday and Saturday. However, conditions are expected to dry out for the Treasure Valley on Sunday. But mountain areas should prepare for additional snowfall beginning Monday and continuing into Tuesday, signaling a shift in weather that could impact travel and outdoor activities.
Residents are advised to stay updated on the latest weather reports to navigate the expected wet conditions effectively. For those planning to be outdoors over the coming days, caution is encouraged due to potentially treacherous conditions in the mountains.
Stay tuned for further updates on this evolving weather situation in southern Idaho.
