The Magic Valley Is About To Get Some Much Needed Precipitation

The animals need it. Our lakes and reservoirs need it. Our lawns, forests, and the air we breathe need it.

Southern Idaho will kiss the unseasonably warm weather that came with fall's arrival goodbye on Saturday. The odds of reaching the upper 80s again, as we did earlier in the week, are extremely slim between now and June, so hopefully you enjoyed the warmth while we had it.

A cold front is on its way to the Magic Valley, and it's going to stick around for a bit.

Approaching Southern Idaho Cold Front Brings The Chance Of Showers Over 96 hours

I am a massive fan of warm weather, but I must say, the start of fall left me desiring a reason to throw on a hoodie. Temperatures in southern Idaho have averaged in the upper seventies for the first two weeks of fall, and that is about to come to an abrupt halt this weekend.

According to current weather predictions for southern Idaho, temperatures will drop roughly 20 degrees on Saturday (October 10) as a cold front passes through the region, packing a good amount of moisture, according to the National Weather Service.

Rain is expected to start up Saturday evening, and the chance for intermittent showers remains through Tuesday. Overnight lows drop into the 30s by Saturday night as well, according to the NWS outlook.

Stay warm. Stay dry, Magic Valley. Let's roll those hoses up.

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.
