The National Weather Service has issued a winter
storm watch above 4,000 for North Idaho and
eastern Washington, calling for six to 14 inches
of high elevation snow.
A strong Pacific storm system is expected to
arrive in time for the weekend, and is expected
to hit North Idaho on Sunday.
The storm is expected to begin dumping snow in
the Cascades tonight and continue though
Saturday evening, and reach the Selkirks on
Saturday, with snow levels dropping through the
day on Saturday to 2,500 feet. By Sunday, light
snow could reach the valley floors.
In addition, the storm is expected to bring
sustained winds to 10 to 20 miles per hour with
gusts up to 40 miles per hour, causing sharply
reduced visibility. |
