The weekend is expected to see more of the same weather we have seen recently but the temperatures take an up tick as we close out July.
Thunderstorm activity is passing through parts of the Treasure Valley region this afternoon which has red flag warnings active in parts of south eastern Oregon and parts of the Owhyee mountains. The system should pass through and dissipate later tonight.
Winds gust could reach pass 50 MPH. Most of the storms will pass closer to Nampa and Caldwell with lighter impact over the Boise region.

Saturday and Sunday will stay into those mid-90's but the work week will see warmer weather. 97° on the way for Monday and Wednesday has a decent shot at triple digits in the Valley.
Even higher mountain cities like McCall and Cascade could see 90's with the coming work week so the heat will be on. A slight dip may follow going into next weekend but August is tracking to see some very warm temperatures move into the western United States and the includes Idaho.
