After a cooler, breezy Friday, high pressure will rebuild over the area from Friday night through Sunday afternoon, bringing sunny skies, lighter winds, and unseasonably warm temperatures—up to 10 degrees above normal.
However, the tranquil weather won't last. A major pattern shift is expected late Sunday as a deep low-pressure system drops down the Pacific coast from Alaska. This will bring increasing clouds on Sunday evening.
The real impact arrives early next week. A strong Pacific trough will sweep through the region Monday through Wednesday, bringing much cooler temperatures and potentially significant rainfall—especially over the mountains of central Idaho, where over an inch of precipitation is possible. Snow levels will stay above 8,000 feet, and valley areas may see up to 0.50 inches of rain, though shadowing effects from the Owyhee mountains could reduce totals in some spots.
