Happy Friday! It's a gorgeous Friday in the weather thanks to a high pressure system that continues to bring us sunshine, light wind and comfortably warm temperatures through Saturday. But after Saturday, we've got a big change in the works. Maybe even snow will hit some areas in the higher elevations. So, enjoy the weather on Saturday, because it might be the last of the warm weather for a while.
So, here's what's happening, a major pattern shift will bring a significant cool-down to the region next week. It begins on Sunday as a weak low pressure system arrives during the evening. Scattered showers will impact the Treasure Valley Sunday night into Monday morning, with more numerous showers in the mountains. Snow levels will remain fairly high around 7000 feet. Daytime highs will cool off into the 60s in the valleys and 50s for the mountain areas Monday and Tuesday.
We'll get a break from the wet weather Monday afternoon through Tuesday night as weak high pressure attempts to build into the region. Then we get another shot of cold air Tuesday night. Daytime highs fall into the 30s and 40s for the mountains and 50s for the valleys for the remainder of the week. There is also the potential for the first widespread frost/freeze across the Snake River Plain Wednesday night into Thursday. A light to moderate snowfall will impact the Central Mountains.
