It is August in Idaho, meaning the Boise area is under a heat wave well into the triple digits. The National Weather Service has issued several heat warnings urging Idahoans to stay indoors if possible. As we've covered here, several Idahoans work outdoors regardless of the temperature. 

We proudly salute those that are working outside and ask them to take care of themselves.  Here's a look at a few hard chargers working in the oppressive heat.

Our area's severe weather has made national headlines. Weather forecasters believe we will get some relief from the triple digits beginning Tuesday. The weather folks say we could see temperatures fall to the mid-nineties for a few days this week.

Global Warming?

The Treasure Valley is a region known at a mountain desert.  It is not unusual for our area to have triple digit temperatures. A few summers ago we had several days of one hundred degree plus weather.
