Good Morning Idaho, Friday is here! Cheers to the weekend.
Updates from overnight, the National Weather Service has gotten reports of snowfall around the Treasure Valley ranging from 4"-7". Prepare for slippery and slick conditions this morning. Roads are covered in snow as you head out of downtown! Wintry driving conditions will impact the morning commute area-wide. Take it slowly this morning.
Snow is now mixing with rain along the I-84 corridor. Plan to take extra time if you are traveling around the Treasure Valley. Updates to the Winter Weather advisories have been made to include the Treasure Valley. The Boise Metro may receive 1"-2", whereas the Western Treasure Valley gains 2"-3".
Cold air sitting in the Valley floors has supported mostly snow showers this morning, but as mild air continues to plummet in, rain may mix in with snow through 9 am. Then as the second cold front arrives this afternoon, lighter snow showers will follow across the Treasure Valley.
Expect gusty conditions throughout the day as this system moves through with gusts up to 30 mph possible in the Treasure Valley. My friends in the Magic Valley remain under the Wind Advisory through 5 pm today, gusts up to 50 mph are possible. Secure any loose items outdoors!
If you're traveling through the mountains, expect snow to fall throughout the day. The National Weather Service has estimated near 4"-8" along the East and West Central Mountains, possibly near a foot along ridge tops.
After today, the weekend brings mild temperatures, light winds, and mostly sunny skies! The sunshine is just right around the corner. Hang in there Idaho.
