We're looking at a significant boost in our temps in the coming days due to a widespread ridge of wide pressure encompassing the Pacific Northwest.
Friday is going to be an awesome day weather-wise. Get outdoors and enjoy the sunshine. Our pollen count is high today...watch my Out the Door Forecast to see those numbers in this vide:
Friday's high temperatures climb into the upper 70s in the Treasure Valley, and on Saturday, temperatures climb into the 80s. Our normal temperatures for the next 10 days stem from 66 to 70 degrees...so our temps are 15-20 degrees above normal.
This above normal trend sticks around through next week...potentially we hit 90 degrees a week from Sunday. This heat will have a significant impact on runoff in our mountains. River forecasts in our region are currently below flood stage - aside from Silvies River near Burns in Oregon at the action flood stage. To prep, move away deep snow from foundations of buildings and move equipment and livestock out of poorly drained or low lying areas.
