Happy Wednesday, we are making it through the hump of the week together.
We've got another copy and paste forecast for today with clear skies and highs touching the 40s along Valley floors, and 30s incoming for the mountains this afternoon. If you live along the Central Mountains, you'll run into a bit of patchy fog. Visibility as low as 1 mile, drive safely!
As we begin to wrap up the work week, changes will come as a cold front moves in Friday. This will bring a chance of snow showers along the East and West Central Mountains near noon. The front exits quickly, and into Saturday morning any remaining showers look to hover over portions of Burley and Pomerelle.
I don't anticipate snow showers in the Treasure Valley. However, we can expect the thermometer to drop dramatically. Morning lows will hover in the mid teens, and afternoon highs will be below freezing. This colder trend will carryover into the next work week.
Prepare for a very cold weather over Martin Luther King Weekend.
ake sure to bundle up this week and be prepared for really cool weather ahead!
