Good evening everyone! Our storm system drop anywhere between .10" to .33" of rain in the valley and .33"-75" in the central mountains. As a result, fire activity has been dramatically reduced.
Fire officials on the Lave Fire stated the following:
Weather/Fire Behavior: "Yesterday, precipitation was received across the fire area anywhere from a quarter to a half inch of rain, drastically decreasing overall fire activity. While this did not extinguish the fire, it gave the ground resources opportunities to install and improve lines."
Linger showers continue in central Idaho with another .10"-.25" accumulation until after sunset while slow clearing will commence in the valley later this evening. Chilly temps will be with us overnight with lows between 42°-50°.
Sunshine returns on Friday for a very pleasant day as highs touch the mid-70s with light wind.
Fall color is just getting going in a few spots in the central mountains. Below is a map of when you can expect peak color.
Over the weekend I expect a good deal of clouds mixed with some sunshine Saturday then mostly cloudy and cooler on Sunday. Hight temps in the low-80s Saturday then mid-70s Sunday.
An active pattern will arrive for Monday and Tuesday bringing us showers & some storms. Rainfall could total .50"-.75" in the valley and .75"-1.33 in the central mountains! More good news for our fire situation!
