A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for the Treasure Valley. Expect snow to affect traveling in the valley from Noon Thursday through the Thursday evening and Friday morning commutes.
The bitter cold air that arrives this morning will bring the coldest night of the winter. Boise has not dropped below zero since Jan 1, 2022. I expect the low to be close to zero on Wednesday morning.
Snow will reach the Treasure Valley on Thursday, likely after the morning commute. By the lunchtime rush, roads could easily already be slick, and very slick roads are likely through the afternoon along with the evening commute. Storm totals by Friday afternoon of 3"-6" of snow are likely in the valley with higher amounts from Caldwell west to Ontario and Weiser. Boise could see around 3"-4". The Friday morning commute will likely be slick as well.
Snow should mix with rain and become showery as the Friday progresses.
