Soaking rain heading towards the Treasure Valley as temperatures soar

Posted
and last updated

Get ready for a wet and rainy night! A moist Pacific system is moving into the region, bringing precipitation that will last through Friday night. Rain will be the main event as snow levels will rise to around 7,000 feet in the central mountains on Friday as a warm front moves in. Expect rain and snow in the mountains, with totals ranging from 6 to 12 inches above 6,000 feet.

The good news is that the rain should clear up on Saturday, with drier conditions moving in. However, there's still a chance of light precipitation in the central mountains.

Looking ahead to next week, expect more precipitation on Sunday and Monday, with a weak disturbance moving across the region. But by mid-week, high pressure is expected to build along the west coast, bringing drier and more stable conditions to our area which means we could see the development of another inversion.

Here's a look at my valley forecast:

Tonight: A soaking rain with up to a quarter inch, with lows around 40.

Friday: Rain ends around sunrise then broken cloud cover with more rain developing by evening. Unseasonably mild with highs near 55!

Saturday: Increasing sunshine and comfortable, with highs near 44
.
Sunday: Mostly cloudy, with highs near 45.

Monday: Mostly cloudy, with highs near 42.

Tuesday: Mostly sunny, with highs near 40.
