Red Flag Warning

We are making our way through the hump of the week! Yesterday, temperatures across the area topped out in the triple digits, and Boise reached 104°, tying a daily record set back in 2017.

Today will still be hot; however, this afternoon we have a chance for dry thunderstorms across the area. This is when we have gusty winds and lightning rather than torrential downpour. In response, a red flag warning has been issued from 3 pm on Wednesday to midnight. Be sure to avoid all outdoor burning today, wildfires could spread rapidly if started.
