Happy Friday Idaho!
I hope you enjoyed the holiday break and have been getting some rest. To prepare for the day ahead, it's best to pack an umbrella and keep it with you.
Friday evening we'll have some showers throughout the night starting around five, but Saturday remains fairly calm for the Treasure Valley with a chance of showers possible in the mountains.
Snow levels will hover around 8,000 feet as the warm front continues to move northward today. Giving the central mountains a mix of both rain and snow.
A cold front will arrive tonight, causing snow levels to drop around 3,500 feet-4,000 feet into Saturday. This will bring another 1-3 inches of snow into the mountains, with less than an inch along Valley floors. Northern areas will see a bulk of the moisture this weekend, giving near 6 to 12 inches to areas above 6,000 feet.
Sunday will be mostly dry for the Treasure Valley, but areas along the Oregon border- Malheur and Southern Harney counties will continue to see a good chance of showers into Sunday.
Next week looks to be much drier for us with a building of an upper level ridge along the coast. This though, will bring on the chance for another inversion to set up mid week bring above or at normal temperatures to the mountains, and below towards the Valley floors.
