A stormy weather pattern is developing over the region, with multiple storms poised to bring mountain snow and valley rain over the next week. I am watching a system that will spread rain into the valley Tuesday evening and night. There is a chance that rain changes to snow after midnight bringing a slight chance of getting a coating of snow for sunrise Wednesday in parts of the Treasure Valley. Stay here for updates on this!!
As we head into Thursday, a strong system will arrive, bringing rain and snow to the region. Snow levels will vary between 4000 and 7000 feet, keeping the snow well into the mountains. This is a perfect setup for significant snow for the ski areas of central Idaho! If you are looking to ski before the holiday break is over, this weekend looks amazing for powder hounds!
Snow totals in the mountains are likely to be 2 to 3 feet with even higher amounts possible in some areas! If you are traveling anywhere in the area above 4000ft, please plan on very snowy travel conditions!
Here's a brief look at the forecast:
Tonight: Mostly cloudy, with lows around 37.
Tuesday: Cloudy with a few sprinkles then rain by sunset. Very mild with highs near 52. There is a chance of snow overnight bringing a slight chance of a coating of snow in the valley Wednesday morning.
Christmas Day: Mostly sunny, with highs near 43. Cloudy with snow Wednesday night.
