Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boise ID
850 PM MDT Thu Oct 30 2025

.DISCUSSION...A high cloud shield associated with a weak upper
ridge will work east of the area overnight. We`ll see some brief
clearing in the early morning hours which could lead to patchy
fog formation in mtn valleys. Looking at low temperatures
similar to Thursday morning if not a few degrees warmer thanks
to the clouds. Friday starts off clear for most sites, but
clouds will be quick to increase as further ridging builds in
from the coast. Current forecast is on track for this evening so
no updates.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR with some lingering high clouds this evening.
Patchy fog possible overnight, mainly over mtn valleys. Surface
winds: variable 7 kt or less. Winds aloft at 10kft MSL: W-NW
10-20 kt.

KBOI...VFR. Surface winds: variable under 5 kt this evening and
overnight.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
SHORT TERM...Tonight through Saturday night...A ridge will
remain over the area and bring light winds and dry conditions
through Friday. Mild temperatures are expected during the day
with chilly temperatures at night. High clouds will stream into
the area from the west with mostly cloudy skies at times.
Temperatures warm from normal to around 10 degrees above normal
on Friday. On Saturday the flow aloft turns zonal with increased
cloudiness and a chance of showers mainly north of a line from
Baker City OR to McCall ID.

LONG TERM...Sunday through Thursday...A ridge of high pressure
will shift east as a trough of low pressure moves into the
Pacific Northwest on Sunday. Precipitation will primarily fall
over Baker County and the West Central Mountains, with snow
levels staying elevated to around 8500-9500 feet. Minimal
accumulations are anticipated across the region. Warm southwest
flow will then continue to bring temperatures 5-15 degrees above
normal next Monday and Tuesday, with another push of a weak
shortwave on Tuesday. This looks to bring a better chance of
rain to high terrain across the region, with snow levels staying
around 8000-9000 feet MSL. Valleys will still primarily be
shadowed from precipitation. A deep upper level low off the
coast of British Columbia will then advect southerly moisture
and a deep trough into the Pacific Northwest on Wednesday into
Thursday, with widespread precipitation and cooling on Thursday
across the region. Snow levels are forecast to fall 6500-7500
feet MSL by Thursday, but significant uncertainty remains in the
extent of that cold air.
