Sunshine greeted Meridian residents this Thursday morning, capping off a pleasant streak of spring weather across the Treasure Valley. Temperatures climbed into the low 60s yesterday and are set to reach 66 degrees today before showers roll in for the weekend, so if you’ve got outdoor plans, now’s the time to enjoy that blue Idaho sky. Allergy sufferers may want to grab some extra tissues—pollen counts are on the rise with local grasses and trees in full bloom, though air quality remains good, making those morning jogs and evening walks especially inviting[1].

In high school sports, Wednesday night saw the Meridian Warriors baseball team clinch a tight 5-4 victory over their rivals from Mountain View, energizing the home crowd with a dramatic seventh-inning comeback. Meanwhile, the Lady Mavericks from Centennial High dominated on the softball diamond, posting an impressive 11-2 win—setting the stage for a thrilling end to the spring season.

On the community front, anticipation is building for Sparklight Movie Night’s return to Meridian on May 30th, promising fun under the stars for the whole family. The City also recently announced the Public Works Week Expo, where residents can get hands-on with local infrastructure and learn more about how Meridian keeps things flowing smoothly[3].

A somber note touched the community with the announcement that 16-year-old Brayden Griffin was identified as the victim of an early morning crash on Eagle Road. Support for the Griffin family has begun pouring in from around Meridian as friends and neighbors rally together during this difficult time[4].
