On Thursday the central mountains received a light to moderate snowfall with around an inch of snow at Bogus Basin, 3.5 inches at Sun Valley, 3 inches at Brundage and 6 inches at Tamarack.
A Winter Weather Advisory remains active through 3:00 AM Friday for the central mountains near Stanley and Sun Valley. An additional 4-10" of snow will fall above 7000 feet, with 1-4" above 4500 feet.
Rain returns during the evening commute, with snow levels dropping to valley floors. The Treasure Valley may get a coating of snow between Thursday evening and Friday morning but I do not expect any major issues with this precipitation. The Magic Valley can expect a quick coating to 1 inch of snowfall by Friday morning, possibly leading to slick roadways for the morning commute.
Gusyt wind will pick up Thursday evening as a front passes, with 20-30mph gusts in the Treasure Valley and up to 40mph gusts in the Magic Valley. Colder air will slowly continue to settle into Idaho on Friday with temperatures falling another 5-10° into the upper 30s and lower 40s.
A high pressure ridge brings clear skies and calm winds to the Pacific Northwest Friday night into Saturday. This will lead to a frigid Saturday morning with single digit temperatures in the central mountains and 10s and 20s in lower elevations.
Clouds increase Saturday evening as another storm system approaches. Latest computer charts have me thinking the snow will not be far enough south to affect the Treasure Valley. However, McCall could potentially receive 2-4 inches by Sunday morning.
