Boise, ID – Boise residents should brace for a hot and sunny Saturday, with temperatures soaring to a scorching 91°F by the afternoon. This spring heat wave will bring clear skies in the morning, but expect a shift in the late afternoon as light showers become a possibility.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the high temperature will reach 91°F with moderate winds shifting southwest at 5 to 9 mph. However, the sun’s intensity will give way to some light showers by Sunday evening. A 20% chance of rain is predicted, especially as temperatures begin to cool slightly, with a low around 61°F.
For those planning to hit the roads or enjoy outdoor activities, it’s important to note that conditions will remain warm throughout the day. Drivers should stay alert, especially around sunset, as rain could cause slick spots, particularly on elevated roadways and bridges. Highways like I-84 and local streets may see brief impacts from scattered showers. The wind will also increase in the late afternoon, with gusts as strong as 31 mph, making it crucial to secure any loose outdoor items.
This weather pattern is consistent with typical spring swings in Boise, where temperatures can vary dramatically in just a few hours.
Looking ahead, Sunday night will cool to around 61°F, with continued mild winds. By Monday, temperatures will dip to 67°F, and showers may return, although less intense. Local authorities advise keeping up with weather updates as conditions can change rapidly.
