The winter storm watch issued Sunday for the
region has been upgraded to a winter storm
warning in Boundary, Bonner and part of Kootenai
County, indicating a higher certainty of adverse
weather.
The warning is in effect from 7 p.m. today
through 10 a.m. Tuesday, as National Weather
Service forecasters now predict that three to
six inches of new snow will fall, though the
amount tapers to around two inches from Bonners
Ferry north to the Canadian line.
Temperatures are expected to drop into the lower
20s overnight and winds will likely pick up,
with southerly winds of three to 10 miles per
hour overnight, shifting to the southwest after
10 a.m. Tuesday and increasing to eight to 15
miles per hour with gusts up to 30. |
