The next few days will bring a mix of fog, snow, and rain to the area. Tonight, areas of fog will develop again, reducing visibility and bring locally slick roads especially in Canyon County.
As we head into Wednesday, expect more of the same with foggy conditions lingering until mid-morning. Cloudy skies are likely for areas that have been seeing sunshine over the past several days.
Looking ahead to Thursday, a system will move into the region, bringing a 60% chance of snow. While accumulations are expected to be light, there is a good chance of very slick roads for the Thursday morning commute. Boise could see a half inch of snow while the western valley could see up to 2" with slick road likely continuing in the afternoon from Canyon County westward.
As we head into the weekend, a low-pressure system will move into the region, bringing rain and snow to the area. Saturday looks wet, with an 80% chance of rain in the valleys with snow above 4000 feet.
Here's a brief look at the forecast:
Tonight: Areas of fog, with lows around 23°F.
Wednesday: Areas of fog in the morning, then cloudy, with highs near 31°F.
