Showers return to the valley, so where is all the snow?

and last updated

Scattered rain showers will continue into tonight in the Treasure Valley as a southwest flow is pumping in moist but also milder air. Temperatures hit the mid 40s in Boise with highs near 50° to the east. Snow levels in the central mountains are near 5500 ft with rain showers in the McCall area. 1" of snow had fallen at Tamarack Resort and Brundage Mountain Resort as of Tuesday afternoon with another inch possible Tuesday night.

We will experience warmer temperatures in the valley as the inversion breaks up a bit, but we can expect the development of fog each morning, followed by mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies for the remainder of the week. There is a possibility of more slick spots in the western Treasure Valley into Wednesday morning where pockets of cold air remain.

Seasonably warm temperatures are likely with highs approaching 50° each afternoon. Winter officially begins Thursday at 8:27pm MST!

A cold front will move across the area late Friday night with a burst of heavier rain/snow and strong winds as it moves through. Central mountain ski areas should see 3"-8" of snow between Friday afternoon and Saturday.
