An approaching storm could stir the air just enough on Thursday that we see a little more sunshine in the afternoon following the morning low clouds and fog. But, any sunshine will quickly transition to increasing clouds as an active storm track will usher in periods of snow starting tomorrow night and it will continue through Friday morning, Please note the Winter Weather Advisory above. This first storm will bring about 1-3” of snow to the Treasure Valley. There could be a little more snow in the foothills. By midday Friday, the mountains could easily see up to 8” of new snow. The Friday morning commute should be slippery.

We’re not done, the snow is expected to continue as computer models show another surge of moisture moving in on Saturday and this will continue into Sunday morning. Again, with temperatures being as cold enough that the precipitation will likely be all snow across the state.

The pattern remains active going into next week with additional storms moving in our general direction. With snowpack levels already above 160% of normal, this is going to be a great scenario for storing water. I just hope it continues going into January and February.

The mountains will see periods of snow tomorrow night, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
