The start of the long weekend on Friday will be hot & sunny with temperatures climbing into the mid-90s in the valley and just above 80 in McCall and other locations around 5000 feet.

Saturday and Sunday will be the hottest days we have seen in southern Idaho since September 27th of last year. Jighs will be in the upper-90s in the valley and low 80s at 5000 feet. Sunshine should stay abundant all weekend. Be careful if you are spending a lot of time outdoors and make sure to always be proactive about heat-related illness.

Monday and the 4 th of July look to be hot and dry with valley temps in the mid-90s and the central mountains around 5000 feet in the low 80s.
