An incoming weather system could mean a wet and windy Labor Day for the Treasure Valley.
Korri Anderson, a meteorologist for the Weather Service in Boise, told the Idaho Statesman there is a 20% to 30% chance of thunderstorms on Monday.
“There’s a system that’s off the California coast, and it’s going to interact with some moisture from the south and that’s going to enhance the threat of thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon,” Anderson said Sunday by phone.
The storms are a “low-probability” at the moment, but if they do hit Boise they are predicted to happen within two windows: 8 a.m. to noon and 3 p.m to 8 p.m., according to Anderson.
Anderson said Monday’s weather could also include winds of up to 60 mph. He warned drivers that blowing dust could create difficult driving conditions.
While Idaho has seen significant fire damage in recent weeks, don’t expect the weather to help much. Anderson said if the Treasure Valley does get hit by storms, they are expected to contain little water.
