325 FXUS65 KBOI 101055 AFDBOI Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Boise ID 355 AM MST Mon Nov 10 2025 .SHORT TERM...Today through Wednesday night...An upper wave moving onto the BC coast this morning will track along the US/Canada border, suppressing the ridge currently over the Intermountain NW. While it won`t bring precipitation to our area it will weaken the temperature inversion on Tuesday resulting in some extra warming at lower elevations and cooling in the mtns. Wednesday will see an increase in southwest flow aloft as a deeper trough approaches the West Coast. Surface winds will pickup in response which should improve mixing. Wednesday will be the warmest day for most locations as highs reach 10-15 degrees above normal, though we will see periods of high clouds through the day. A 15-30% chance of showers creeps into SE Oregon and the w-central Idaho mtns Wednesday night as the trough pushes onshore. Snow levels are 8-9kft MSL as the precipitation gets started. .LONG TERM...Thursday through Monday...Thursday will kick off a period of active weather that continues through into next week. The initial trough will track across the region bringing 60%+ precipitation chances to most sites through Friday morning. Lower elevations see up to 0.20" with 0.25-0.50" amounts in the mtns. Snow levels will steadily drop to between 4500-6000 feet MSL (west to east respectively) allowing for accumulations of 2 to 5 inches above 6000 feet MSL. The weekend is looking cool and unsettled as upstream troughing moves through region. Timing of these systems remains uncertain, but generally valleys will maintain a 20-40% chance of rain while mtns hold onto a 40-60% chance of rain/snow through Monday. Snow levels Friday night/Sat drop to between 4-5kft MSL and minor accumulations (up to 2") are possible down to mtn valley floors. Friday and Saturday are the coolest days with highs near normal. && .AVIATION...VFR under high clouds. Surface winds: less than 10 kt. Winds at 10kft MSL: W-SW 15-25 kt. KBOI...VFR.
