and last updated

Temperatures are not as hot and will continue to slowly drop into the weekend. Heavy rain raises the potential for Idaho flooding late Sunday into Tuesday morning.

On Friday we can expect valley temperatures to drop to the mid-90s in the valley with just the chance of an isolated storm with gusty wind late in the day. The central mountains could see a few storms as well with temperatures 85-90.

Saturday looks like a nice but hot summer day with valley temperatures in the mid-90s. There is a chance of a few more passing storms in parts of the central mountains.

On Sunday the remnants of what is now major hurricane will push north spreading an area of rain with embedded thunderstorms. After a brief break, the core of what was Hillary will be somewhere in the northwest states and current forecast models have heavy accumulations of rain in western Idaho, especially in the West-Central Mountain where 2"-3" of rain is in the forecast.

The threar of flooding/flash flooding will exist in western Idaho from late Sunday into Tuesday morning.
