The National Weather Service, Spokane, this
afternoon issued a winter storm watch in effect
above 4,000 feet from Sunday evening to late
Monday night, calling for significant snow and
high winds.
The NWS is calling for seven to 14 inches of
snow at higher elevations, starting out at 2,500
feet but rising to 4,000 feet, with snow
increasing late Sunday night and lasting through
Monday evening. Valley locations could see snow
Monday morning, but it should turn to rain by
mid-morning below 3,500 feet.
In addition, winds gusting to 50 miles per hour
can be expected on ridges, and winds in the
valley, while less intense, could be strong
enough to make power outages likely.
