Boise, ID – Morning air sits at 43°F across the Treasure Valley under clear skies — mild for November, but change is coming fast. Sunshine dominates through Veterans Day, bringing highs near 62°F and calm winds, but a powerful Pacific system will move in by Thursday with rain, gusts, and cooler temperatures to close the week.
According to the National Weather Service in Boise, residents can expect a calm and pleasant Tuesday ideal for ceremonies and outdoor plans. By Wednesday, clouds increase ahead of the approaching front, but highs will still reach the mid-60s — nearly ten degrees above average for mid-November.
Rain begins Thursday morning, with heavier showers likely after 11 a.m. The system will bring widespread precipitation across southwestern Idaho, with a 70% chance of rain for Boise and higher totals in the nearby foothills. Breezy winds up to 20 mph may also develop as temperatures drop sharply into the upper 40s by Friday.
The late-week system marks the region’s first notable pattern change in weeks. Forecasters say lingering moisture could bring spotty rain into Friday and early Saturday before drier, cooler air returns for the weekend.
For now, Idahoans can enjoy one last round of fall warmth before the shift — a brief “winter tease” signaling that Thanksgiving travel season, and the colder air that comes with it, are both fast approaching.
