Happy Hump Day Everyone! I hope you all stay warm as we head through this brutal cold.
We haven't seen temperatures below zero since January 1st, 2022! Talk about a weather whiplash for us this week.
Temperatures this morning continue in the single digits with teens expected into the lunchtime hour. Remember to continue wearing insulated layers, and heavy jackets. Unprotected skin exposed to single-digit lows, and lows below zero can lead to frostbite and hypothermia.
Expect impacts on Thursday afternoon and evening commutes, into Friday morning. A Pacific storm will approach the area Thursday near lunchtime, bringing nearly 3"-6" through the Friday morning commute for the Treasure Valley. Roads will be slick and possibly icy in a few spots. Prepare to give yourself extra time for your end-of-the-week commutes, and any late-evening Valentine's Day Plans.
Rain is expected to mix into the forecast as we head into Friday afternoon and evening. However, due to the extremely cold air along Valley floors, it's looking like we will receive more snowfall than rain, or a very slow changeover will occur.
Either way be sure to make your Valentine's Day Plans indoors!
As we get ready for the weekend Saturday brings us a brief break in precipitation before another day of rain on Sunday and showers to follow into Monday.
Have a great day everyone, we are almost through the week!
