Hello all and happy Friday!

It has been nothing but consistent fog for the Treasure Valley over this week and if you are sick of the soup, don't worry, a new weather pattern will shake things up.

The Boise inversion has led to frost and low visibility at night. Luckily a new system arrives bring the temperatures up for a bit and and clearing things out.

We will get to all of that soon but first tonight is the big game and it will be chilly out on the Blue. Below freezing and foggy weather is expected and will continue into tomorrow.

At the start of Saturday, it will feel exactly like this up until the evening when a system roles into our region bringing in a few different weather events. For the mountains, 2-5 inches of snow is expected to come in which is awesome for ski season. Ther western Treasure Valley will see a chance of freezing rain meaning driving between Saturday night and Sunday morning should be done with caution. Lower levels of snow are expected for the Owyhees, magic valley and southern portion of the eastern central mountains.

Even though a cold front is moving in, we will see a bump in temperatures going into Sunday. This is due to the inversion we are experiencing. The warm up won't last long as consistent upper 30's and low 40's are on hand the rest of the week.

It will be cold into the weekend so stay bundled up but at least the fog will breakup after the start of the week.
