Boise, Idaho – A quiet morning unfolds over the Treasure Valley with a crisp chill and clear skies glowing faintly before sunrise. The city wakes under calm air — a brief lull before the next pattern shift later this week. Temperatures are starting in the 40s but will climb quickly under mostly sunny skies, bringing one more day of late-fall comfort before clouds begin their slow return.

According to the National Weather Service in Boise, the next few days will stay dry and mild, with highs near 60 to 64 through Tuesday. Veterans Day looks especially pleasant for outdoor ceremonies and travel, featuring full sunshine, calm winds, and afternoon warmth that feels more like early October than mid-November. Roads across Ada, Canyon, and Elmore Counties will remain dry and clear through midweek, offering perfect travel conditions along I-84 and Highway 55.

By late Wednesday into Thursday, however, a Pacific front will begin pushing inland, spreading thicker clouds and a 40% chance of rain by Thursday afternoon. While no snow is expected in the valley, the Boise Mountains could see their first meaningful flakes above 6,000 feet — a subtle hint that the region’s winter transition is nearing.

Residents should take advantage of the calm stretch to complete yard cleanup, check gutters, and prep outdoor gear before the late-week system arrives. The weekend looks cooler and damp, with scattered rain showers possible Friday into Saturday — the first early sign that November’s pattern may soon turn toward winter.
