We are expecting the weather to turn heading into the weekend here in the Treasure Valley.

While we have been enjoying temps in the 70s over the past few weeks, we will be in the 50’s for a good portion of next week.

Meanwhile – other areas of Idaho are getting ready for snow! A winter storm watch is in effect for parts of eastern Idaho beginning tonight and extending to Sunday afternoon.

The National Weather Service in Pocatello is forecasting several inches of snow in mountain areas above 7,000 feet. This includes areas in and around Island Park and the mountains along the Wyoming, Utah and Montana borders.

There may be some light snow in Rexburg, Idaho Falls, Pocatello, and surrounding communities as well.

If you plan to travel thru the weekend, you would be wise to prepare for winter driving conditions.
