A powerful downburst near Stage Stop earlier tonight sent winds surging to 68 mph — while Boise, just miles away, was 10 to 20 mph at the same time. 💨 Dry air below the shower/storm = evaporating rain = rapid cooling = sudden blast of wind. Classic microburst setup!

Surface haze and smoke layers aloft will be drifting around east Oregon and southwest Idaho due to a few wildfires across the region. Here's the latest smoke forecast through Saturday morning.
