Beautiful weather continues
We are now on week three of what has been an impressive streak of awesome weather here in Idaho.
Temperatures haven't shifted far past north of the 80's for most spots and haven't dropped further than the upper 60's which has left us in a very comfortable middle range of great weather.
More of the same is expected going into the weekend with consistent 70's going into the middle part of next week. The cause has been a high pressure ridge that has just stagnated over the four corner states of the U.S. and that has bumped any shift from making it to the southern part of Idaho.
It's isn't anything to complain about but the unseasonably warm start to Fall does have us on the Idaho News 6 weather team wondering, when will Fall weather truly start?
Update on Hurricane Milton
A Historic Hurricane for the Gulf. This is one of the strongest Hurricanes to develop in the Gulf. Last week this sat as a tropical depression, with a slight chance of development.
Fast forward to this week, from Sunday to Monday it strengthened from a Category 1 Hurricane to 5. This made sustained winds speeds around the eye up towards 185 mph.
Now, Hurricane Milton has regained its strength as a Category 5 with sustained wind speeds being about 165 mph!
It's will likely make landfall late Wednesday evening into Thursday morning as a Category 3 or 4 hurricane. Either way this is a major hurricane that will bring deadly storm surge to the peninsula of Florida.
If you have any family or friends in this area, be sure to check in on them and make sure they are following the guidance of their local officials.
