Major snow storm set to hit Idaho Thursday

Posted
and last updated

It has been nothing but dry and cold up to this week and we are expecting a bump in temperatures tomorrow but it comes with a major snow storm set to hit Idaho Thursday through Friday.

Across the I-84 corridor, Winter storm warnings are set to start Thursday morning and last until Friday morning. A low pressure system off the coast is collecting a lot of moisture and will bring it into Idaho. Valley floors will see under half a foot while higher elevations are expected to see a foot plus with ski resorts seeing a foot at the least.

This is expected to have a larger impact on the afternoon commute as opposed to the morning commute so eyes will be on westbound traffic out of Boise as more snowfall is set to hit the Western part of the Treasure Valley.

Wind is also set to be apart of tomorrows storm moving in so be prepared and drive with caution in these conditions.

We will see a break from precipitation Friday afternoon going into Saturday but wetter weather quickly returns Sunday into Monday. Temperatures will be warmer with this second system so more rain is expected in the Valley region.
