A high pressure ridge is holding strong over Idaho keeping things nice and clear for us in Idaho but the potential of snow continues to grow as we get close to the weekend.
Next couple days in the Treasure Valley will sit around the 40's will more clear skies to come but increasing chances of snow are expected going into Friday night and Saturday morning. Nothing major when it comes to sticking, a chance of a thin layer is expected, but will burn off fairly quick over the weekend.
At the start of next week, highs will stay in the low 30's making it chilly for Valley floors here in Idaho. Lows will also fall making for chilly nights as not a lot of cloud coverage will lead to a lack of insulation and cooler days.
