Want a glorious Memorial Day weather weekend, Boise? You got it

Whether you plan to attend the city of Boise’s Memorial Day Ceremony, go for a walk, bike ride on the Greenbelt or just spend time in the yard this weekend, you’re in for a treat with blue skies and lots of sun.

Sunday’s forecast high is 87 degrees, making it the warmest day of the weekend. Memorial Day itself should be around 80 degrees. And that’s after an 80-degree Saturday.

The normal high temperature for this time of year is about 75 degrees, according to National Weather Service data.

Clear conditions are expected for the weekend, and as of now, there is no sign of rain in Boise.

“We’re not looking for any precipitation right now for Memorial Day. There could be some thunderstorms around on Monday, but we don’t have anything here in the valley; it’s going to be mostly in the mountains,” said Josh Smith, a meteorologist overseeing Boise for the National Weather Service.

Although the weekend is expected to be pleasantly warm with no extreme weather, conditions will be most favorable for outdoor activities on Saturday and Sunday, with those two days being the “clearest and the warmest,” according to Smith.

“If you’re going to stay in the valley, I would not expect any adverse weather,” Smith said.

If you are leaving the valley to spend time in the mountains on Monday, weather conditions won’t be as clear.

“Some people are going to be out camping or hiking in the mountains, so there is a chance for some thunderstorms … most of the day Monday. So that might be a concern for some people outside,” Smith said.
