A stormy weather pattern is expected to persist over the region, with multiple systems bringing precipitation and changing conditions. Tonight, rain is expected, mainly after 3 am, with lows around 38 and an 80% chance of precipitation.
On Friday, rain is expected, mainly before 11 am, with highs near 48 and a 100% chance of precipitation and gusty wind in the higher elevations.
A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for central Idaho with heavy snow increasing Thursday night. McCall could see another 2"-5" of snow by Friday evening while the ski areas could get another 9"-12" by then. Slick roads are likely Friday above 4000 feet Friday morning. Snow levels will rise to 5100 feet on Sunday so McCall will mix with rain then while the ski areas continue to get hit hard with more snow.
Here's a brief look at my forecast for the valley:
Tonight: Rain after 3am, with lows around 38.
Friday: Morning rain then cloudy, with highs near 48. More rain Friday night.
Saturday: Periods of rain likely, with highs near 47.
Sunday: Mostly cloudy with a chance of a passing shower, with highs near 49.
