287 FXUS65 KBOI 062010 AFDBOI Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Boise ID 210 PM MDT Mon Oct 6 2025 .SHORT TERM...Tonight through Wednesday night...Another Frost Advisory has been issued for the agricultural areas in the Snake Basin, this time for the Treasure Valley as well as the western Magic Valley, valid 4 AM to 9 AM MDT Tuesday. Low temps there will be between 33 and 38 degrees but frost can form at air temps as warm as 36 degrees under clear skies and calm winds. Isolated spots will dip to 30-32 degrees. The Boise metro will not frost, with lows there between 38 and 42 degrees. Higher-elevation valleys and basins will dip to the 20s. High pressure aloft and clear skies will bring warming days, with highs Tuesday about 5 degrees warmer than today, and Wednesday another 5 degrees. Lows Wednesday morning will be 1-3 degrees warmer than Tuesday, and Thursday morning another 3-5 degrees. Winds will be east or southeast 5 to 15 mph through Wednesday night, except gusts 25 to 30 mph Wednesday afternoon in the Snake Basin east of Boise. .LONG TERM...Thursday through Monday...A deep low pressure system near Vancouver Island will push into the Pacific Northwest on Thursday, with southwest flow ahead of the low bringing warm, breezy, and dry conditions to our region. Temperatures will likely hit at least 80F in the lower elevation valleys by Thursday. The low will then move south and slightly inland, bringing cooler temperatures and a slight chance of rain to the region on Friday. After Friday, model disagreement increases with the track of the low. Some members have it deepening into a closed low to our south, while others have it weakening into a trough. Regardless, all members show cooler air and widespread precipitation moving into the region during the weekend with the largest uncertainty in precipitation amounts and location. The coolest and wettest solutions show temperatures about 10-15 degrees below normal and snow down to 5000 feet MSL by Sunday. Accumulations will likely be light in mountain valleys, but there is a 5-10% chance of seeing at least 2 inches of snow in McCall on Sunday. Higher elevations will see better chances of accumulation, with Banner Summit seeing a 20% chance of 4 inches of snow by Sunday. Another low could move in quickly behind this one on Monday, bringing even cooler and wetter conditions to the region. && .AVIATION...VFR with a few cumulus buildups over high terrain this afternoon.
