A storm system off the California coast will bring increasing moisture into the region today. Showers are expected to develop around lunchtime and continue on and off through the afternoon and evening.

The main impacts will be across the Lower Treasure Valley into eastern Oregon, where a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect. Travel could be slick at times due to mixed precipitation, with about a 30% chance of freezing rain in the Baker Valley. Use extra caution if you’re heading out today.

Winter Weather Advisory

Unsettled weather continues into the weekend as persistent southwesterly flow keeps moisture streaming into the region.

Weekend Forecast

Snow levels will fluctuate, starting near 4,500 feet on Thursday and rising to around 6,000 feet by Friday morning. Some mountain bases could pick up an inch or two, but the bulk of the snowfall will favor mid-mountain elevations and higher. Mountain locations and ski resorts can expect 5–8 inches of snow through Sunday.

Total Precipitation

This unsettled pattern lingers into Monday, with drier and cooler conditions returning by the middle of next week.
