5:45 a.m.: The beginning stages of our first big
early-season storm system is affecting the
Inland Northwest this morning. Widespread rain
and high mountain snow has developed, and this
will continue through the weekend.
Snow levels will fall later today, bringing
accumulating snows down to around 4,000 feet.
Winter Weather Advisories and Winter Storm
Warnings have been issued because of this.
The bigger story for the majority of the
population may be the gusty winds that are
expected to develop this afternoon. Wind gusts
may approach 50 miles per hour at many valley
locations, with sustained winds 20 to 30 miles
per hour.
By Sunday morning, the winds may calm somewhat,
but the valleys of northern Washington into the
Idaho panhandle may see their precipitation
change to snow. Some minor accumulations are
possible, but travel impacts should be minimal
in the lower elevations. |
