We are just days away from Summer kicking of here in Idaho and the temperatures are set to rise but not before some thunderstorm activity moves into southern Idaho.
Temperatures jump into the upper 90s as we get into our Friday and you would assume with the first day of Summer on Sunday, we would stick to those warmer conditions but a slight fall into the 80s is expected over the weekend. That is due to some thunderstorm activity making its way into southern Idaho. The Owyhee mountains will initially see it Friday late evening and then more scattered across the state into Saturday morning.
It's important to not that southern Idaho will see either a Red Flag Warning or Fire Weather Watch tomorrow evening into Saturday. Those warnings should be lifted by the afternoon time. This means warm, dry, and low humidity are something to keep an eye on. Any new wildfires will have prime opportunity to spread quickly under theses conditions.
Here is how warm the first week of Summer will be:
Right now, the Boise area is sitting with a 20% chance of showers both Friday night and Saturday morning. We clear out nicely into Saturday evening and stick to the same temperatures rang into Sunday. Monday brings the 90s back to the Treasure and Magic valleys with temperatures soaring mid week near the 100° mark. We sit in the upper 90s after then and don't see much of a shift other then lots of heat and sunshine.
Great news for Boise is float season starts on Saturday meaning if you need to stay cool, the Boise river is perfect spot to get away from the Summer heat. Stay cool and have a great weekend!
