A warm front brings a little more snow to the central mountains Tuesday evening for more slippery roads. In the valley there is a 30% chance of rain before 11 pm, followed by areas of fog and mostly cloudy skies, with lows around 36°F.
As we head into Wednesday we will wake up to areas of fog as an inversion will form. The low clouds and fog should persist in the morning, giving way to partly sunny skies and highs near 47°F. However, the fog will return on Wednesday night, with lows around 31°F.
The inversion will strengthen on Thursday, causing fog to develop in valleys below 3000 feet elevation. Mostly sunny skies and milder temperatures are expected in the mountains above the fog layer.
Looking ahead to the weekend, a strong disturbance will approach from the west on Saturday, bringing stronger winds throughout the region. This will help develop southeast winds in the upper Treasure Valley, pushing the inversion west into the lower Treasure Valley. There will be a quick burst of precipitation. Snow levels will range from 7000 ft MSL in the south to 5000 ft MSL in Valley County.

Tonight: 30% chance of rain, with lows around 36° and areas of fog.
Wednesday: Morning fog then partly sunny, with highs near 47°.
Thursday: Morning fog then partly sunny and colder as the inversion strengthens, with highs only near 39°.
