Get ready for a B-E-A-Utiful day! We're going to be several degrees warmer Thursday than Wednesday...hitting the low 70s by mid-afternoon.
Overall, we're looking at an extended period of heat in the region due to a ridge of high pressure encompassing our region. Widespread low-pressure storms have moved east towards Montana, Wyoming, and the Dakotas.
Temps continue to stay mild and pleasant over the next few days in the Treasure Valley with highs in the 70s. Saturday/Sunday we we reach the low 80s as our highs, that's about 10 degrees above normal.
Still, we climb towards unseasonably warm temps into the mid- to upper-80s next week. For example, Monday we are looking at 86 degrees in Boise which is 14 degrees above average.
With all this high pressure, our skies are mostly sunny for the coming days. However, lots of low pressure storms are hanging out just east of Idaho in Montana and Wyoming and a few isolated rainstorms may push into our region in the coming days. The biggest likelihood of this will occur on Sunday night when we have a 20% chance of the Treasure Valley seeing t-storms.
A reminder that with our temperatures seeing another significant warmup, we will see an additional impact to snowmelt and rising rivers, creeks, and streams in the coming days. Caution is urged when walking near riverbanks and canals in the region as flows are high and fast with dangerously cold water temperatures. Turn around, don't drown! Never walk or drive through a flooded area and keep pets and livestock away from risky areas.
