Fall Weather Arriving A Tad Late In The Magic Valley This Weekend

Many in the Magic Valley are enjoying an end-of-summer, high-pressure system that jacked temperatures to up near 90 degrees Thursday, day two of fall in southern Idaho.

Thursday (September 24) felt like kayaking weather. Twin Falls hit 87 degrees for a high, and there were no signs of hoodies or pants at my kid's school when I picked him up at 3 P.M. I plan to keep wearing shorts through New Year's.

This is the time of year when heated car/truck seats, yard decorations, pumpkin-flavored coffee, and falling leaves are a daily thing for months to come.

Southern Idaho Temperatures Will Take A Nose Dive This Weekend As Fall Officially Says 'Hey There'

Southern Idaho temperatures will drop nearly 20 degrees between Thursday and Saturday. For Saturday, September 26, the high in Twin Falls is expected to reach just 68 degrees with wind gusts up to 10 miles per hour, according to The Weather Channel.

Idahoans will be trading styled hair for beanies and pants for sweats in the coming weeks. Packages of candy corn will start showing up on the kitchen counter along with the groceries soon; Halloween is just 37 days away.

This is also the best time of year for Boise State football. The Broncos are on the road this weekend but return to Albertsons Stadium on October 3 to play Utah State. It'll be a sea of hoodies and beanies.

My condolences to those who don't like cold weather, as the warm stuff is likely gone and won't return for eight months or so. For those who love crackling logs in the fireplace and running to the store in fuzzy slippers, your time has just about arrived.

Straw Bale Maze at Tubb's Berry Farm

The straw bale maze is shaped like a bee and is filled with dead ends and fun activities. As you wander through the maze you can find hidden hole punches with special shapes to earn a free popcorn...if you are able to make it out.
