Good Morning Idaho and Happy Friday! Mentally start preparing for slick roads, and wintry driving conditions in the mountains. While we welcome the moisture, we don't love the messy roads.
Snow showers have started along the Lower Treasure Valley this morning, the upper Treasure Valley can expect these showers to arrive later into 9 am. This will begin as snow along the valley floors today, before changing to rain as temperatures warm through the day. Periods of rain will be likely through the majority of the weekend.
If you are spending your weekend in the mountains, drive with caution! Winter Storm warnings are in place along eastern Idaho with 10"-20" of snowfall expected. Winter Weather Advisories extend from the Lower Treasure Valley, the West Central Mountains, into the Boise Mountains.
These advisories are expected to last from this 8 am morning into Saturday evening around 5 pm.
After a dry January, the first week of February will bring all the rain. Keep the umbrella in your car as you move through the week ahead.
