The first weekend of October is here and its bringing almost Summer like weather along with it. Whats the warmest it will get?
As we kickoff the month, temperatures are still trending 10-15 degrees higher than they usually are this time of year. Conditions are likely to reach into the 90s going into Sunday. Monday is even expected to see high 80s getting close to that 90°F range too.
Along with the warm weather is the dry skies. No rain is insight for most of Idaho over the next week and extended outlooks have all of the Pacific Northwest dryer than normal. The only chances of rain are some stray thunderstorms developing near the Nevada border Monday afternoon. There is a small chances they make it to the Twin Falls region but still something to look out for.
The dry weather isn't aiding the current drought Idaho is in. The Owyhee mountain region is some of the driest in the country. Outlooks are poor over the area already and if we go into another season of dry weather, as nice as it will be, its going to be detrimental to that area and its need for water.
Enjoy the warm weekend ahead and even though its Fall, stay cool!
