Happy Friday to you Idaho. Skies shift heading into the weekend with rain and wind. What follows is a very impressive Spring heat up.
Kicking off Saturday, Idaho is expecting rain showers in the morning that are set to clear out as the afternoon arrives. The national weather service says most rainfall is expected before noon.
Wind quickly becomes the focus soon after the showers clear with 40 to even 50 MPH gusts moving over the valley floors. Damaging winds, according to the National Severe Storms Laboratory, are between 50-60 MPH and the Magic Valley has a shot at hitting that range so just be aware of those afternoon gusts coming in.
Check out your weekend forecast:
The forecast takes a turn going into the work week as heat is on the way. Monday 60's turn into Tuesday 70's and by Wednesday, Idaho could see its first 80 degree day of 2026. The heat stagnates after with the extended forecast showing three 80° days in a row Wednesday through Friday. This may put a damper on the end of ski season so I would head up to the slopes this weekend if you get the chance.
Forecast Focus:
Windy and wet weather rolls in Saturday so be aware of the not so great conditions. Mid work week is set for an impressive hot start to Spring 2026.
Have a great weekend Idaho!
