BOISE & MOUNTAIN HOME, ID – If you’ve lived in Idaho long enough, you know that spring doesn’t just show up overnight—it fights its way in. This week, we’re in for a mix of gusty winds, cooler temperatures, and scattered rain showers from Monday through Wednesday.
One day, it’ll be mild and breezy. The next? A little gloomy and chilly. So if you’re making plans, here’s what you need to know.
Monday, March 4 – Winds Pick Up, With a Few Afternoon Showers
- Boise High: 56°F (13°C) | Low: 34°F (1°C)
- Mountain Home High: 54°F (12°C) | Low: 33°F (1°C)
- Wind gusts up to 30+ mph—watch out for flying trash cans!
- A few scattered rain showers possible in the afternoon
What to Expect:
- The morning starts out calm, but don’t be fooled—the wind picks up fast. By the afternoon, gusts could hit 30 mph or more.
- A few rain showers may roll through later in the day, but don’t expect a full-on downpour.
- If you’re driving, especially on open highways, expect a little extra push from the wind.
If you have patio furniture, lightweight decorations, or trash cans outside, now’s the time to secure them.
Tuesday, March 5 – Still Breezy, But at Least It’s Drier
- Boise High: 55°F (13°C) | Low: 37°F (3°C)
- Mountain Home High: 52°F (11°C) | Low: 34°F (1°C)
- Partly cloudy skies, a little less windy than Monday
What to Expect:
- Temperatures stay mild, but that breeze isn’t completely gone.
- Clouds will mix with sunshine, giving us one of those days where you’re not quite sure if you need a jacket or not.
If you’re heading out early, grab a light layer—it’ll still be chilly in the mornings.
Wednesday, March 6 – Cloudier & A Bit Cooler
- Boise High: 54°F (12°C) | Low: 31°F (0°C)
- Mountain Home High: 49°F (10°C) | Low: 30°F (-1°C)
- More clouds, slightly cooler temps
What to Expect:
- It’ll feel cooler overall as clouds take over and the wind keeps things brisk.
- No big storms expected, but don’t count on much sunshine either.
- Evening temperatures will drop near freezing, so if you’re heading out late, dress warm.
Spring isn’t quite ready to stick around just yet.
