Superb spring weather continues through mid-week

The daily forecast from Idaho's largest, most experienced team of meteorologists.

BOISE, Idaho — Our streak of sunny and pleasant spring weather continues Tuesday, which is great news for the thousands of local kids who will get to enjoy Spring Break this week! Temperatures for this first official day of astronomical spring will mirror Monday's, with temps capping around 70° across the entire Treasure Valley this afternoon, low 60s in the Magic Valley, and mid-50s in the mountains. Sunshine will be plentiful and winds remain light, a perfect day to get out and about or even get the grill going in the backyard.

On Wednesday, our streak of mild temperatures reaches its peak even as the ridge of high pressure that's been bringing us our warm weather starts to erode and shift eastward. Temperatures will inch up a couple of degrees over today as southwesterly flow 

Come late Wednesday into Thursday, the first in a series of systems will start to roll through from the west, slowly eroding the ridge and allowing cooler temperatures and precipitation to return to the Gem State by this weekend. A few showers are expected to fire up in the mountains late Wednesday into Thursday, and will then spread south over the lower elevations by Friday evening. The most significant precipitation is expected over the weekend, with rain showers and isolated thunderstorms on tap for the valleys on Saturday and snow falling above 6,000'. Rain sticks around through Sunday, with temperatures dropping into the low 50s in Boise by the end of the weekend.
