Rain and mountain snow persist in Idaho ahead of weekend weather shift

The rain continues today in the Treasure Valley, and snow continues to fall in the mountains. However, the weekend could bring a change after all of the wet weather we've experienced lately.

Heading into Friday night, Idaho will see a second wave of showers move into the Treasure Valley. More snow is forecast for the mountains as well.

That means Winter Weather Advisories lasting until tomorrow morning for the mountainous areas of central Idaho. Please be safe if you plan on travelling through the mountainous regions north of Boise on Friday and Saturday.

Conditions start to turn going into the weekend with lesser chances of showers passing through. That lull appears will likely be short-lived as the Treasure Valley is set to see additional precipitation going into the work week.

The Magic Valley should stay a bit drier, and the lower elevations throughout Idaho are expected to see warmer temperatures, with some areas reaching the mid-50s by Wednesday.

Stay dry and warm out there as the wet weather rolls on!
