July temperatures in Boise have averaged 4.5 degrees above normal and that number will be on the rise as sizzling summer sunshine will bake the area this weekend.
The latest forecast for the northern lights has been downgraded and it is NOT LIKELY that southern Idaho will see this astronomical event overnight.
The chances of seeing the lights are better for northern Idaho.
If you are still hoping to see the northern lights tonight around midnight you can expect a clear night with comfortable temperatures. Be sure to find a dark area away from city lights with a clear view of the low, northern horizon. If you get any good photos be sure to email them to newsroom@kivitv.com
Friday will be similar to Wednesday with valley temperatures in the mid-90s and lots of sunshine. McCall will see temps just above 80 degrees.
We're looking at temps 10-15 degrees above normal in the Treasure Valley over the weekend with a high of 106 Sunday, which is our peak of heat.
