Boise is starting Veterans Day with clear skies and temperatures around 37 degrees, but the Treasure Valley is headed for a remarkably mild afternoon. Highs are expected to reach about 71 degrees Wednesday before slipping into the 60s later in the day, making this one of those November forecasts that seems to have misplaced the calendar.
Sunny Wednesday Brings Warmth And Wind
Mostly sunny skies will carry Boise through the day, with south-southeast winds increasing to around 10 mph. The National Weather Service says gusts could reach 15 to 25 mph across parts of the region Wednesday and Thursday, while no watches, warnings or advisories are in effect.
Rain Waits Until Friday Night
Thursday will stay mild and partly sunny, with a high near 70 degrees and another breezy afternoon. Friday should begin mostly sunny near 69 degrees, but rain showers could develop after 5 p.m., followed by an 80% chance of showers Friday night and rainfall totals generally between a tenth and a quarter inch.
The strongest Friday winds are expected ahead of the front, with gusts potentially reaching 20 to 40 mph in some areas. Higher elevations could also see a few inches of snow above about 7,000 feet as snow levels drop overnight.
Cooler Weekend Leads Into A Wetter Monday
Saturday will be noticeably cooler, with a high near 57 and a 40% chance of rain showers before 5 p.m. Sunday rebounds slightly to around 60 degrees, though a late-day shower is possible before another chance of rain arrives Sunday night.
Monday looks like the wettest day in Boise, with rain showers likely, mostly cloudy skies and a high near 56 degrees. That is a sharper turn from the earlier outlook covered by Hoodline, which had called for a milder, less active weekend forecast.
