Boise, ID – Starting today, Boise is expected to experience significant rainfall, with up to 0.77 inches forecast by Tuesday night.
According to NWS Boise, the heaviest rainfall is expected to occur tonight and into Monday, especially during the morning commute. Flood-prone areas like downtown Boise, Meridian, and Caldwell may experience pooling water on roads, increasing the risk of accidents. Drivers are urged to exercise extreme caution, slow down, and avoid driving through water-covered streets, as just six inches of water can cause vehicles to stall.
Emergency services recommend that residents prepare now by clearing storm drains, securing outdoor furniture, and staying indoors whenever possible during heavy rain. Flash flood warnings could be issued as early as Monday morning, so it’s essential to stay updated via local news and weather apps. Additionally, travelers should plan extra time for commutes and consider alternative routes to avoid flooded areas.
