The National Weather Service has issued a winter
storm watch calling for three to nine inches of
valley snow across much of the region, including
Boundary County. The watch is in effect from late Thursday night through Saturday afternoon, as a cold winter storm pushes into the region from British Columbia. Snow is expected to begin falling late Thursday or early Friday morning, mostly in higher terrain, but cooling temperatures Friday night and into Saturday are expected to drop snow levels to the valley floors. Heavy accumulations are likely, with nine to 18 inches expected at higher elevations, pushed by sustained winds of 10 to 15 miles an hour and gusts up to 20 miles per hour. Temperatures during this period are expected to drop into the upper 20s. The storm is expected to make driving conditions hazardous. |
