Rainy weekend ahead
TONIGHT: Stray rain showers will be across the region this evening with mostly cloudy skies. We will mainly see these showers out for central ID and the Magic Valley. Winds will be light breezes tonight between 5-15 mph. Low temperatures get down to the low 40's.
TOMORROW: Bunches of rain showers will roll through the region for Saturday throughout all of eastern ID/western WY. Most of the rain should occur in the morning hours before rain goes to the mountains and highlands throughout the afternoon. Winds will be slightly breezy between 10-20 mph. High temperatures will get into the upper 50's.
LONG TERM: More scattered rain showers will be in our region for Sunday and into next work week. Rainfall accumulation for most of us looks to be between a quarter to a half an inch by the end of Sunday, but some local areas could see as much as or even over an inch. We can expect good chances for rain every day up until Thursday. Thursday will give us some stray leftover rain showers before we look to dry up on Friday and into the following weekend. Winds will be slightly breezy for most of the week. High temperatures slightly cool down to the low to mid 50's for Sunday. High's then slightly increase into the upper 50's and lower 60's for the beginning of the work week. Once the rain leaves on Thursday, we can expect high's to be back into the upper 60's for Friday and 70's for the following weekend.
