Storm to impact Southern Idaho with snow for the Magic Valley on Thursday

Posted
and last updated

After dry skies on Tuesday, Wednesday will see evening rain turn to snow for some regions of the Gem State going into the earliest parts of Thursday.

Wednesday night will be rainy for most of southern Idaho as a storm system tracks into the area. As Thursday arrives, temperatures will drop, allowing for snow to fall in the Magic Valley area and parts of southeastern Idaho. The southern mountains could see anywhere between 6-10 inches of fresh snow, with the valley floors seeing a potential of two inches of accumulation.

Rain will most likely wash that out for the Twin Falls area, but there is a decent chance there will be snow on the roads for your morning commute. Be aware if you're driving in the Magic Valley on Thursday morning.

The Treasure Valley will see some precipitation as well, but mostly in the form of rain, as temperatures will be too warm for snow. Our focus after all of this passes is a wind advisory, which is set to last until Friday morning. That advisory goes from Baker City down the I-84 corridor to Mountain Home.

A bump in temperatures back into the 60's will give us a nice weekend, so hang on through this dreary weather. Saturday and Sunday are looking beautiful.

Also, a quick heads up: Daylight savings is Sunday, so make sure to switch your clocks!
