The National Weather Service in Spokane has
issued a flash flood watch for portions of North
Idaho and northeast Washington, including
Boundary County, in effect from late tonight
through Friday afternoon.
Conditions are developing which will promote
heavy rain producing thunderstorms tonight and
Friday morning over the region.
Recent burn scars will be particularly
susceptible to flooding as these storms track
through the area. Also the potential exists for
mud slides and debris flows in steep terrain.
A flash flood watch means that conditions may
develop that lead to flash flooding. Residents
in areas susceptible to flooding or in
slide-prone areas are advised to take action to
secure property from loss, and motorists are
reminded not to drive into flood waters across
roadways, but to turn around and find an
alternate route. |
