Showers Thursday night will bring another quarter of an inch of rain to parts of the valley. Most of the rain will fall in Ada County and northern Canyon County but all valley areas will see at least some rain through Thursday night.
Wednesday night Bogus Basin received 5" of snow with Tamarack seeing 7"+ and Brundage 6"-7". Ski areas can expect to receive another 5"-10" by Friday morning setting the stage for an epic holiday weekend for skiers.
On Friday the valley will see lots of clouds and damp conditions early in the morning but there will be gradual clearing through the day resulting in a nice afternoon with high temp near 50°.
The mild, dry weather will continue through Saturday as valley temperatures climb into the low 50s with lots of sunshine. Rain returns Saturday night and will continue through Sunday morning followed by clearing later in the day.
Temperatures will warm to the mid-50s into next week which is running around eight degrees above normal.
The Sawtooth and Stanley Basins, Sun Valley, and the Big Lost Highlands are also under a winter storm warning in effect until 5 pm this afternoon. Snow accumulations in this area could be another 1 to 4 inches, with higher elevations of the Sawtooths seeing 6 inches.
Dry conditions are expected tomorrow and Saturday with another system passing through next week. Stay updated with my forecast here or on my Facebook Page.
