Record-breaking heat hits Idaho in mid-December

Record breaking heat hits Idaho
Posted
and last updated

Records were broken today for the warmest December 11th in multiple cities across Idaho and eastern Oregon.

Twin Falls, Mountain Home, Baker City, and Boise all either tied or broke all-time heat records today. The warmer-than-normal weather and clear skies continue over the next few days. Since tracking at the Boise airport started in 1940, this is the warmest December recorded so far.

Next week, temperature-wise, we stay pretty similar with the highs in the 50s sticking around. Rain will begin to return on Monday night and should continue through the week.

Snow chances increase for mountains and ski resorts heading into the latter part of next week, so we will have to wait on fresh powder.

Enjoy the nice weather while it lasts. We are breaking records with these temperatures!
