Meridian, Idaho, had plenty to talk about in the past 24 hours, from sports action to updates on the weather and air quality, all amid the blooming spring season.

Today’s weather in Meridian brings overcast skies with a daytime high of 59°F and a chilly low of 34°F overnight. The clouds are sticking around, but no rain is expected, which makes it a comfortable day for outdoor plans.
