But first, today's weather:

Intervals of clouds and sun. High: 58 Low: 32.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Boise who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Boise Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top stories in Boise today:
