The Nation Weather Service, Spokane, has issued
a flood watch on small creeks and streams
throughout the region, including all of North
Idaho, effective late tonight through late
Tuesday night. Rainfall amounts of up to three inches are possible across the watch area, which includes Boundary, Bonner, Kootenai, Shoshone, Latah and Benewah Counties in Idaho and Ferry, Okanogan, Spokane, Pend Orielle and Stevens Counties in Washington. Large, mainstream rivers are not expected to flood, but smaller creeks, streams and urban areas may see flooding due to the heavy rainfall, and mudslides are possible. Additional moderate to heavy rainfall is likely through the rest of the week. |
