BOISE, Idaho — While it will be overall calmer and less blustery than Wednesday, winds out of the south will occasionally gust up to 20mph at times this afternoon and evening. Temperatures also start to warm under the influence of a building ridge of high pressure, with highs Friday around 60° in the Treasure Valley, low-60s over in the Magic Valley, and low-50s in the mountains with abundant sunshine across the area.
Saturday is looking fabulous, with sunshine and temperatures in Boise climbing into the 70s with light winds and plenty of sun, though a fast-moving disturbance will knock temperatures back down slightly on Sunday. This system doesn't carry much moisture, though a passing sprinkle of rain is possible late Saturday evening in the valleys and some snow and very high-elevation snow showers possible in the mountains. Breezy winds ramp up on Sunday and temps drop into the mid-60s in Boise, but we'll rebound quickly with temperatures in the 70s and abundant sunshine returning by Tuesday.
