Expect yucky, slick roads Thursday morning | ||
November 15, 2017 | ||
Get ready for a mixed bag of weather, as a system brings rain, freezing rain and mountain snow to Boundary and Bonner Counties in Idaho and Pend Oreille County, Washington, and rain, yuck and slop to points south tonight. Heavy mountain snow is expected, with four to eight inches possible above 4,000 feet. The snow level is expected to drop to 3,000 feet by morning, turning most of the precipitation to snow; one to three inches are possible in valley locations. The snow is expected to turn back to rain Thursday afternoon, with temperatures warming into the low 40s, but will turn back over to snow as temperatures drop into Thursday night, with an addition inch of valley snow predicted. Tonight's chance of precip is pegged at a certainty, 100-percent, while it drops to 70-percent on Thursday. Tonight's moisture is likely to make morning road conditions an absolute mess, so be sure to leave a little earlier than usual for the morning commute and take it slow and easy going in. Cloudy conditions and frozen mix is expected to continue all week to next Thursday, with daytime highs in the upper 30s to low 40s and overnight lows in the low to mid 30s. |
