Snow, cold on the way |
|
December 14, 2016 |
National Weather Service forecasters say snow is
likely Thursday, thought accumulation is
expected to be light, and then the skies should
clear Friday as the bottom falls out of the
thermometer. More new snow is likely next week.
Most of Thursday's snowfall is expected before
10 a.m., though flurries are possible throughout
the day. As the sun goes down Thursday evening,
the mercury is expected to go down with it, with
temperatures expected to dip to two below zero.
With a breeze of about eight miles per hour from
the northeast, it will fell considerably cooler.
We should see sun Friday morning, but it's not
expected to warm things up much -- the daytime
high is expected to reach a balmy 10-degrees and
winds are expected to pick up to about 11
miles-per-hour, pushing the windchill as low as
-24 degrees. It gets really chilly Friday night,
with an overnight low temperature of -12
expected.
Saturday is expected to stay sunny and cold,
with a high again of 10-degrees, but
thermometers are expected to stay on the upside
of zero Saturday night with an overnight low of
one degree.
A 20-percent chance of light snow returns
Sunday, with a daytime high of 15-degrees
expected, and both the temperatures and the
chance of snow edge up on Monday, when the
chance of snow rises to 30-percent and a high
temperature of 23 is predicted.
The likelihood of snow increases Monday night
and into Tuesday as temperatures climb into the
upper 20s to low 30s. The chance of snow sticks
around through Thursday, December 22.
If you're traveling south Thursday morning you
can expect heavier snow, as a winter weather
advisory has been issued for an area including
Shoshone County and much of Kootenai County,
where three to six inches of new snow is
expected by 10 a.m. |
