BOISE, Idaho — Rainy, wet weather has canceled planned hot air balloon launches at the Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic on Thursday.

It's the second day in a row that wet weather has canceled the event.

Organizers still encourage eventgoers to join pilots at Ann Morrison Park on Thursday, writing on Facebook, "We’re not letting the morning end without a little balloon magic. Our pilots will light up the field with a candlestick display!"

The event's tethered rides for kids were canceled on Wednesday due to lightning potential.

Another round of widespread rain arrives Thursday night as a cold front moves through. See the latest forecast from Idaho News 6 here.
