BOISE, Idaho – The morning starts gray and damp across the Treasure Valley as a thin veil of rain drizzles through streetlights and softens the foothills. Pavement glistens, leaves cling to windshields, and the air smells unmistakably like November. But the clouds won’t linger long — a quick-clearing trend will bring a calm, bright stretch of late-fall sunshine through the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Boise, scattered rain showers will taper by late morning, followed by gradual clearing this afternoon. Temperatures will stay mild, reaching the mid-50s under partial sunshine. Winds remain light, making for a pleasant end to a soggy start. By Saturday, skies turn fully sunny, and the air stays seasonably cool — ideal for outdoor plans, early decorating, or catching a high school playoff game.
Sunday will continue the fair pattern, with highs near 58°F and a crisp start near freezing. The region’s valleys will remain dry, but the higher mountains of central Idaho could still see patchy frost or light snow along the passes as colder air filters in early Sunday morning.
Travelers on I-84 and U.S. 20 should expect wet roads early today but improving conditions by afternoon. The next few days will be perfect for late-season yard work or leaf cleanup before a stronger Pacific system returns midweek.
This stretch marks a classic “November reset” for Idaho — just enough chill to feel like fall again, with bright, steady sunshine to enjoy before the next round of winter weather makes its move from the Northwest.
