Monday's cold front has brought a refreshing change to the air over Idaho. Cleaner air will continue into Wednesday but temperatures will be heating up as an upper-level ridge slowly starts bringing back the heat just in time for the first day of August.

Triple digits will arrive by Thursday, with an excessive heat watch in place for Friday afternoon as the heat peaks around 105° breaking a record in Boise. The current record is 103° set in 1966. There is a chance of a few evening thunderstorms as well.

Saturday still looks very hot with temps in the low 100s and partly cloudy with a chance for a few more storms. Sunday still looks quite hot but the storm threat may push north of the area.
