It was a breezy week in the Treasure Valley, but Friday brought calmer winds and a slight warm up as temperatures climbed into the upper 50s. The wind will remain light throughout the weekend, as temps gradually warm under a strengthening ridge of high pressure. By St. Patrick's Day, temperatures will reach the mid 60s with abundant sunshine.
Looking ahead to next week, dry conditions and clear skies continue through Wednesday with temperatures climbing close to 70° from Monday to Wednesday. In the mountains, significant snowmelt is expected as temperatures rise into the mid 50s.
However, scattered precipitation and cooler temperatures arrive late next week, just in time for Treefort Music Fest. While it won't be a total washout, there could be scattered showers and thunderstorms with temperatures returning closer to average.
