Snow continues to fall across most of the valley but roads continue to stay just wet as temperatures continue around 34°. Some rain is mixing in with the snow in parts of the valley. Boise has received 3.1" of snow so far today with melting occurring so not that much on the ground.

Precipitation will continue in the valley into Tuesday evening with any mixed precipitation trending back to all snow. Temperatures will slowly drop, reaching 32° before midnight. Icy spots will begin to form then overnight in ANY areas the clouds break, especially from Boise west, widespread icy roads are possible.

This means most untreated roads will be icy as the sun comes up on Wednesday. Temperatures at this time will be in the 20s.

The central mountains are getting hit hard by this storm. McCall has had 10" of snow in the past 24 hrs now with close to the deepest snowpack of the season and snow is piling up in the ski areas with Bogus Basin ending up with the most by Tuesday night.

24hr snow totals so far in the mountains:
Bogus 12"+
Tamarack 10"
Brundage: 10"
Sun Valley 6"

It will remain colder than normal through Friday then temps will be warming to the 50s by the weekend however a gusty breeze will still make it feel chilly on Saturday.

The next storm system is expected to arrive Sunday, going into Monday. Stay up to date on the forecast right here!
