Near-record heat on Monday

and last updated

Wow, what a day in Boise! We came very close to breaking a 43-year-old record for highest temperature, reaching a scorching 84 degrees. The record, set in 1980, stands at 86 degrees, but we're not complaining.

Tonight, expect partly cloudy skies and a comfortable low of 48 and light wind.

The next few days will remain sunny and warm, with highs in the mid-80s. Tuesday and Wednesday will be perfect days to soak up the sun, with highs near 83 and 85, respectively.

But a bit of a cool down is on the horizon. By Thursday, temperatures will drop to the mid-70s, and stay there through the weekend.

10pm Update on Hurricane Milton:

As of the latest advisory, Hurricane Milton remains a catastrophic Category 5 storm, with sustained winds of 165 mph. The storm will eventually weaken slightly to a cat 4 or 3 as it makes landfall somewhere near Tampa, FL late Wednesday.

Here's my extended forecast:

  • Tonight: Partly cloudy, low 48
  • Tuesday: Mostly sunny, high 83
  • Wednesday: Sunny, high 85
  • Thursday: Mostly sunny, high 72
  • Friday: Mostly sunny, high 80
  • Saturday: Mostly sunny, high 74
  • Sunday: Sunny, high 74
