A steady dry spell is still holding strong over Idaho, but snow is expected break that coming soon.
Idaho has been enjoying a nice week of cool weather with sunshine in the Valley's but we are expecting some snow to move in. The nice streak continues into Friday day but the evening will bring in a dusting for the Valley's and potential 2 inches in the mountains with peaks receiving up to 6 inches.
After that we return to consistent dry weather and a drop in temperatures. Lows in the Valley will stay in the low 20's with the mountains falling into the teens and single digits.
We will at least have sunshine along with the cooler weather. Be safe with the light snow moving in.
Mccall will see an impressive drop in overnight lows after some Friday snow and Saturday snow. Days will be partly cloudy though so sunshine will make those 20's a bit more tame.
