Boise, ID — Idaho residents can expect a stretch of sunny skies with brisk winds starting Wednesday, setting the tone for a bright but breezy lead-up to Easter Sunday.
According to the National Weather Service, Boise will see increasing winds beginning Wednesday, with gusts reaching 30 mph by Thursday. Daytime highs will drop slightly from Tuesday’s 72°F to around 60°F on Thursday, before gradually climbing again toward the weekend. Winds will peak late Thursday, driven by a persistent north-northwest flow, potentially affecting travel on the I-84 corridor and in open areas around Ada and Canyon counties.
By Friday, wind speeds taper off, but cooler air keeps highs in the low 60s. Saturday brings a more tranquil setup, with sunny skies and highs nearing 68°F — ideal for outdoor Easter preparations. Easter Sunday looks to maintain that pleasant pattern with a high near 64°F and mostly clear skies.
Residents are advised to:
- Secure loose outdoor items on Wednesday and Thursday.
- Drive cautiously on I-84 and rural roads during gusty periods.
- Stay hydrated and limit outdoor burns due to increased fire spread risk during dry winds.
