“(Temperatures) should be a record low high temperature (for the day).”Jay Breidenbach, a meterologist with the National Weather Service in Boise. “That’s going to be 20 to 30 degrees below normal.”

Rainfall could break the 79-year-old record for the entire month of June, and the Sawtooths will “feel like winter.”

An unusual storm system will bring unseasonably cold temperatures and noteworthy precipitation to southwest Idaho on Monday, with snow expected in the mountains and rainfall in the Treasure Valley (Boise area) potentially breaking a 79-year-old record, according to weather experts.

Snow is expected to fall in the mountains above 7,000 feet in elevation.  The Sawtooths will “feel like winter,” said Breidenbach.
