July has been marked as the second hottest month for Boise since 1877! We've accumulated 16 days over 100°. An approaching cold front will drop temperatures down to the mid-80s, this will be great relief from the scorching July we've had so far.
Along with cooler temperatures, comes the chance of some showers and storms to central Idaho Monday night into Tuesday morning. Boise has a slight chance of a shower on Tuesday morning then a breeze and less smoky air as the day progresses.
Wednesday brings the heat and smoke back as temperatures return to the triple digits and more smoke blankets much of the state.
As far as wildfire smoke goes it appears that this will remain a challenge for us for the foreseeable future, especially with hotter temperatures heading into the weekend. Boise should touch 105° again on Friday and possibly Saturday!
