Hi 60 F Lo 37 F
Big changes are approaching for your weekend.
This morning we are starting dry with the expectation of mild temperatures in the upper 50’s in the Treasure Valley, but we are already seeing high thin clouds push in and winds starting to pick-up ahead of a cold front bring rain and snow for late tonight.
McCall could see about 4” of snow overnight tonight and most high mountain peaks above 6,000’ could see a foot of snow by late Sunday.
The Treasure Valley may see trace amounts of snow on Sunday, but some isolated areas could also get an inch of accumulation on the valley floor.
