Milder temperatures are headed our way for Wednesday with valley highs more than ten degrees higher than Tuesday. I expect mid-50s with a breeze returning from the opposite direction. It will likely be mostly cloudy in the valley with persistent light snow falling in the higher elevations of central Idaho.
A strong cold front will approach on Thursday. Before it arrives temperatures will soar into the 60s in the valley with increasing clouds. The front will cross the valley reaching Boise around 4:30pm. Rain will finally fall in the valley at that time and a couple thunderstorms are possible with the frontal passage.
Much colder air will move back in for Friday and the weekend and this is when the snow will really pile up in the higher elevations. Ski areas could see 1-3 feet between Wednesday and Sunday with the bulk of the snow Thursday night through Sunday morning.
