We made it to Friday Idaho! Steady precipitation has wrapped up for the Treasure Valley, but scattered snow showers continue in the Central Mountains. Around 2-5 inches of snowfall accumulated for nearby ski resorts. Heavier snowfall favored Sun Valley with 10 inches piling up between yesterday and this morning. Pomerelle continues to experience heavy snow and gusty winds this afternoon.

Snow levels will continue to lower into Saturday, but the steady precipitation will remain in the central mountains while lower elevations continue to receive scattered showers. A Winter Weather Advisory will remain in effect until Sunday at 5:00 AM for the Sun Valley region. This includes Ketchum, Sun Valley, and Galena Summit. Driving through these areas may be difficult, slow down and drive with caution. 2-6 inches will accumulate below 7000 feet and 6-12 inches above.

A deep trough spreads substantial Pacific moisture across the West on Monday. A warm front arrives in Idaho Sunday night with a gusty breeze and widespread rain and snow showers moving into the area. It will remain gusty through most of Monday as the low pressure center inches closer to the region. Snow levels will climb to around 4000-5000 feet.
