BOISE, Idaho – Wet streets glisten across the Treasure Valley early this morning as a Pacific system slides east, bringing the kind of cool, steady rain that smells like wet pine and fallen leaves. The gray start won’t last long — by Friday, skies will brighten and a refreshing fall calm will return just in time for weekend plans.
According to the National Weather Service in Boise, periods of rain will linger through early today before tapering off late in the morning. Some heavier showers may pass through before clearing skies take hold. Winds will stay light, and highs will reach the upper 50s. Friday looks partly cloudy and mild, with highs near 56°F, followed by a cooler but sunnier Saturday around 54°F. Lows each night will dip to the mid-30s, signaling a return to crisp, late-fall air.
Drivers along I-84 between Boise and Nampa should watch for wet pavement and brief ponding early today, especially during the morning commute. Once the rain clears, the region enters a stretch of calmer weather — a welcome break for those traveling or working outdoors ahead of Veterans Day week.
By Sunday and Monday, highs will rebound near 60°F with abundant sunshine — ideal for raking leaves, hiking the foothills, or early holiday decorating. Long-range models hint at a colder pattern returning before Thanksgiving, possibly bringing the first measurable snow to Idaho’s higher terrain later in the month.
