The cold front that swept across Idaho Monday night provided a pleasant, sunny afternoon on Tuesday. Daytime high temperatures cooled by around 10° with Boise reaching 72° and Twin Falls hitting 70°, which is still several degrees above "normal" high temperatures for mid-October.
Spectacular weather has arrived across the region with sunshine, light wind, and pleasant temperatures. If you thought Wednesday was nice, check out Thursday! Boise will likely top 80° and approach the record high temperature of 83° set in 1927.
Unseasonably warm weather will stick around into the weekend but the temperatures will slip back through the 70s as the weekend progresses. Clouds will be on the increase Saturday night and by Sunday it will be cloudy with a chance of showers arriving in the afternoon then showers likely Sunday night.
A brief respite from the wet weather is anticipated Monday night into Tuesday as weak high pressure attempts to build into the region. However, a reinforcing shot of cool air and precipitation arrives Tuesday night. This will drop snow levels to as low as 5000 feet and potentially bringing mountain snow accumulations and the first widespread frost/freeze to the Snake River Plain Wednesday night into Thursday. We can also expect widespread precipitation Tuesday night into Wednesday.
