Idaho Weather Is Doing The ‘Two Steps Forward, One Step Back’ Thing Again
If the last few weeks have you thinking ‘is winter done already?’… I get it. Boise and the lower half of the state have been in a stretch where the afternoons feel pretty decent, but the mornings still have juuuuust a little bite. The National Weather Service forecast has a classic whiplash setup for us. It’s nicer today, followed by a quick dip into damp/cool, then a rebound.
The Quick Flip: Decent Today, Then A Little Rain Late Tonight
The National Weather Service forecast for Boise calls for a partly sunny Tuesday with a high near 51. The Magic Valley area forecast will see a nearly identical trend. Then late tonight, clouds increase, and there’s a small chance of rain after about 11 PM, with a low in the mid-30s.
Wednesday Feels Like A Mood Swing
Wednesday is the ‘meh’ day. NWS keeps a chance of rain mainly in the morning, and temperatures step down a bit with a high near the upper 40s. Wednesday night into Thursday morning, NWS has patchy fog showing up in the forecast, which is usually a sign you should watch for early morning fog and visibility issues.
The Real Question: Are We Past Freezing Temps Yet?
We haven’t hit a consistent deep freeze trend this season, but we aren’t past freezing temps altogether.
NWS has Boise dipping to around 30°F on Thursday night. That’s the kind of number that can still mean frosty windshields and a good reason to warm up the car before heading out in the morning.
