Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boise ID
126 PM MDT Sat May 31 2025

.SHORT TERM...Tonight through Monday night...A cold front is
poised to move through the area tonight, entering Baker County
around 5 PM PDT, and exiting to our around sunrise Sunday. Light
showers may accompany the front in Valley County. A Wind
Advisory has been issued for the Lower Treasure Valley of Oregon
for this evening and overnight. Wind gusts to 50 mph are likely
from Ontario to the west and northwest. While no advisory is in
place for Baker County, the strongest winds will stretch just
up into the southeast corner so folks there should prepare as if
an advisory is in place. Blowing dust may occur along and for a
few hours after frontal passage in lower elevations, but it is
not expected to reduce visibilities below 2 miles. Otherwise,
today is the hot day we have been forecasting for days, and it`s
working out as expected. Records will be set this afternoon.
Sunday will be 15 to 20 degrees cooler, but still above average
for the date. SCattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are
forecast along the eastern edge of the CWA in the mountains
(generally from Yellow Pine south to Lowman and then southeast
of Atlanta), and also in southern Twin Falls County and far
southeast Owyhee County for Sunday afternoon, continuing into
the evening in the Owyhee and Twin Falls areas (but not in the
mountains). The remainder of Sunday night through Monday night
will be dry and breezy. Monday`s temps will be just a couple
degrees above normal.

.LONG TERM...Tuesday through Saturday...The forecast area will
become sandwiched between strong high pressure over the eastern
Pacific, and low pressure over the northern US. As a result,
northwest flow will dominate aloft for SW Idaho and SE Oregon
Tuesday through Friday. Intermittent shortwave troughs will
migrate through the northwest flow, but limited moisture has
kept the probability of afternoon showers and thunderstorms at
or below 15 percent. Temperatures are forecast to be slightly
above normal through Wednesday, but a warming trend is expected
toward the end of the week as heights begin to rise. Expect
afternoon breezes through the extended.
