Boise, Idaho – Summer starts early in Idaho as sizzling temperatures arrive Friday and intensify through the weekend, prompting safety concerns statewide.
According to the National Weather Service, Boise will hit 87°F on Friday, with a sharp jump to 93°F Saturday and a scorching 98°F by Sunday. The region will stay locked in this high-heat pattern through Monday, with calm winds offering little relief.
