Idaho – Gray clouds drift over Boise this morning as a brisk northwest wind sweeps through the Treasure Valley. Light rain and snow showers linger early, while gusty winds rattle signs and tree branches across Ada County.
According to the National Weather Service in Boise, a Wind Advisory remains in effect until early evening, with sustained northwest winds around 15–20 mph and gusts pushing near 25 mph. These winds may impact drivers on exposed roadways like Interstate 84 and Highway 55, especially for high-profile vehicles.
A few mixed rain and snow showers may pass through early in the day. Temperatures climb toward the upper 40s, keeping most precipitation light and brief across the valley floor. Snow accumulation is unlikely in Boise, but nearby foothills could see a light dusting during heavier bursts.
Winds remain the main story through the afternoon. Blustery conditions may send loose objects tumbling and create sudden crosswinds along open stretches of highway.
Skies begin clearing later tonight as the system moves east. Temperatures drop near 30°F, and calmer weather slowly settles across southwest Idaho.
The pattern shifts toward quieter weather heading into the weekend. Saturday brings partly sunny skies and highs near 54°F, signaling a gradual warm-up across the Treasure Valley.
Sunday turns even brighter with highs climbing into the mid-60s. Early Sunday morning also marks the nationwide Daylight Saving Time change, when clocks jump forward one hour at 2 a.m., bringing longer evening daylight across Idaho.
Early next week continues the warming trend. Highs reach the lower 60s by Monday, hinting that early spring warmth is slowly returning to southern Idaho.
Meteorologists say the region may see a few additional weather systems by midweek, though temperatures should remain seasonably mild.
Heading out today? Watch for gusty crosswinds and brief showers along I-84. What conditions are you seeing in your neighborhood?
