Temperatures are topping out in the mid-90s so fire activity is growing as is typically the case each afternoon. Poor air quality continues for most of southern and central Idaho and this should be the case for at least the next few days.
We have a slight chance of rain on Saturday, but only a 20% chance. The lightning threat will increase late Saturday and Saturday evening for central Idaho. While there will not be as much lightning as was the case on Monday when all the new fires started, nearby storms can cause erratic, gusty wind which can hamper fire-fighting efforts.
The good news is that after Friday our temps will drop a few degrees then a few more degrees to around normal early next week!
