Cold air coming from Canada will move into the Gem state over the weekend bringing very chilly conditions for us but no new precipitation is expected.
The dry clear skies are not expected to stop potentially till the end of the month with no new systems set to pass on over the area. A smaller system will pass of the central portion of our state and will bring snow there and south eastern Idaho but it will bring in cold air and wind too dropping the thermometer for a lot of Idahoans.
40's in the Valley turn to 30's and lows go from 20's to teens. The wind will make it feel even colder so be aware of a really cold week ahead.
Make sure to bundle up this week and be prepared for really cool weather ahead!
