IDAHO STATE FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BOISE ID
929 AM MST THU FEB 26 2026
BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS WILL IMPACT MUCH OF THE STATE THROUGH FRIDAY, WITH
THE STRONGEST GUSTS EXPECTED ACROSS THE IDAHO PANHANDLE AND HIGH-ELEVATION
RIDGES. LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE AT TIMES OVER THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS
AND PANHANDLE REGION, LEADING TO INTERMITTENT WINTER TRAVEL CONDITIONS ON
MOUNTAIN PASSES. DESPITE THE WIND, A DRYING TREND WILL TAKE HOLD FOR MOST OF
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN IDAHO AS WE MOVE INTO THE WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES ARE
FORECAST TO REMAIN 5 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS, WITH EVEN WARMER
CONDITIONS EXPECTED BY EARLY NEXT WEEK AS AN UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE
REGION. HIGH-PROFILE VEHICLES SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION THROUGH FRIDAY DUE TO
WESTERLY WIND GUSTS THAT COULD REACH 40 TO 50 MPH IN EXPOSED AREAS. A
TRANSITION TO A MORE UNSETTLED AND ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN IS POSSIBLE BY THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK, POTENTIALLY BRINGING INCREASED PRECIPITATION STATEWIDE.
MINIMAL WEATHER IMPACTS ARE ANTICIPATED OVER THE WEEKEND AS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT RELAXES AND DRY AIR SETTLES IN.
