Say goodbye to the sun for awhile

March 20, 2017

It was nice while it lasted, and the brief dry spell afforded by the sunshine of the past two days has helped the many hard working folks who've been out helping to get things back to normal after numerous mudslides and washouts, but the respite is about to end. A thin band of showers some locally heavy, are currently morning northeast in our direction, and tonight there's a 50-percent chance that Bonners Ferry will see more snow, possibly half an inch of it. The snow will turn to rain Tuesday morning as the snow level lifts to 3,000 feet, with a 70-percent likelihood that rain showers will continue over night, bringing as much as a quarter-inch more water to our already soaked area. Another tenth of an inch is expected to fall on Wednesday, but Thursday should bring a bit of sunshine and a high near 46-degrees before it clouds back up Thursday night in preparation for another spate of moderate to heavy rain on Friday.
