[RC] Owyhee weather - steph teeterWeather forecast for the Owyhee rides is looking pretty good. Several people have asked me about the longrange forecast - for the Canyonlands ride next week. The best (most accurate) forecast is at the NOAA website - http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/boi/ (select Caldwell on the map or type in Murphy, ID). Other websites have different forecasts - www.weather.com (the optimist) and www.accuweather.com (the pessimist) have very different longrange forecasts. If you use accuweather.com it's better to search for Nampa, Idaho - the Murphy, Idaho forecast (which should be the same as Nampa) looks like it's giving a forecast for the mountains rather than the valley. There is some chance of rain in the forecast next week - which would be very very good as it's quite dusty out on the trail right now. Also - bring bugspray - we've had gnats this past week with the warm weather. Steph Here's the NOAA forecast: Today: Sunny. Highs 68 to 75. Northwest winds 10 to 15 mph. Tonight: Clear. Lows 34 to 41. Patchy frost possible coldest locations after midnight. Northwest winds 10 to 15 mph in the evening..becoming light after midnight.. Wednesday: Sunny. Highs 68 to 74 light winds..
