Good morning. Idaho. I'm Michael Nally.

Spring forward tonight. Clocks jump ahead one hour at 2 A.M., so you'll lose an hour of sleep. But here's your consolation prize: sunset doesn't arrive until 7:43 P.M. Tonight. We're gaining daylight fast now.

Step outside this morning and you'll feel 43 degrees. Mild for early March. But the real star today? The wind. A Wind Advisory blankets Northern Idaho through 9 P.M., with gusts punching to 50 miles an hour. Down in the Treasure Valley, expect gusts hitting 30 this afternoon. If you're driving anything tall or boxy, take it slow.

Temperatures climb fast. The Treasure Valley tops out at 66 degrees under sunny skies. Eastern Idaho reaches 56, though patchy fog lingers until 9 A.M. Northern Idaho hits 53, but rain likely moves in by afternoon — 70 percent chance — with less than a tenth of an inch expected.

Tonight, a cold front crashes the party. The Treasure Valley drops to 41 degrees. Eastern Idaho falls to 40 with gusty southwest winds continuing. Northern Idaho sees the biggest change — plunging to 31 degrees with a chance of rain and snow after 11 P.M. Monday brings the cooldown. The Treasure Valley reaches only 52 degrees. Eastern Idaho hits 54 but winds gust to 44 miles an hour. Northern Idaho struggles to 40 degrees with snow likely after 8 A.M. — accumulations under half an inch.

Here's your week ahead. Tuesday brings the coldest punch — low 40s with gusty winds. Wednesday warms back to the mid 50s. Thursday looks windy again with low 60s and a slight chance of rain. The pattern holds through the weekend — mild temperatures, breezy conditions, occasional showers favoring the north.

Enjoy that extra daylight tonight before you lose that hour of sleep.

See you this afternoon.
