The final weekend of April will bring showers to the mountains and breezy conditions for the valleys. On Friday evening, scattered showers and thunderstorms continue to impact the Magic Valley, Camas Prairie, and Wood River Valley, with a few spotty showers moving into the lower parts of the Treasure Valley. Some of the showers could contain gusty winds and brief downpours.
Winds continue to be quite gusty across the Snake River Plain, with sustained winds over 20mph east of Boise. The wind will diminish slightly overnight, but pick up again by Saturday morning. Wind gusts over 30mph are possible on Saturday for the Treasure Valley and up to 40mph for Mountain Home and points east into the Magic Valley. Lighter winds arrive for all by Sunday.
Temperatures cool off early next week, with highs in the upper 50s and lower 60s on Monday and Tuesday as a system passes to the north. Isolated showers and thunderstorms are possible in the valley, while more numerous showers and thunderstorms are likely to impact the mountains. High temperatures in the mountains will fall into the lower 40s, bringing snow levels down to around 5000-5500 feet.
Later in the week temperatures rebound in the the upper 60s and low 70s from Wednesday through Friday. However, a high pressure ridge centered to the west will keep upper-level northwest flow over the region, leading to slight shower chances continuing in the mountains.
