A Flood Advisory is in effect through 10:45 PM for Boise, Garden City, and Hidden Springs. The thunderstorm impacting the area will continue to pull away and a return to partly cloudy skies is expected for the Western Idaho Fair. Lightning can strike up to 10 miles away from a storm, so fair attendees should still use caution. A few heavy thunderstorms are impacting the western Magic Valley and will move into the Hailey and Ketchum area through the rest of the evening.

There is a Flood Watch active for eastern Oregon, the Boise foothills, and the Central Mountains through midnight tonight (Tuesday night). These areas received heavier rainfall the last several days and the ground is saturated. Any downpours with this evening's storms could lead to flash flooding.

After cooler weather associated with dense cloud cover from Hilary, temperatures gradually heat up through the rest of the week and into the weekend. The average high temperature for Boise is officially below 90 degrees, but high temperatures likely remain in the 90s (even mid to upper 90s) into next week.

A coastal low pressure system is going to increase the chance for showers and thunderstorms on Friday and Saturday.
