Thunderstorms, quarter-sized hail hit Boise. Here are the best videos from social media
Severe thunderstorms rolled through the Treasure Valley on Wednesday afternoon, bringing heavy rain, high winds and quarter-sized hail to the Boise area.
Although much of the severe weather passed just west of downtown Boise, a couple of strong storms moved through the downtown area starting at 2:45 p.m.
Heavy hail mixed with rain fell in downtown Boise around 5:20 p.m. but quickly moved out of the area. National Weather Service meteorologist Dave Groenert told the Idaho Statesman the Weather Service received reports of 1-inch hail northwest of Boise near the Foothills.
Groenert also said the worst of Boise’s weather had likely passed by 5:45 p.m. However, storms are still possible throughout the evening.
