The National Weather Service has issued a flood
watch for Boundary, Bonner and Shoshone Counties
in Idaho and Pend Oreille, Ferry and Stevens
Counties in Washington, effective from Wednesday
morning through late Thursday night.
Precipitation is expected to spread into
northeast Washington and the Idaho Panhandle
Wednesday morning. Between Wednesday and
Thursday, three quarters to an inch and a half
of precipitation will be possible.
Soil is wet and unstable in the steep terrain of
the Idaho Panhandle and Northeast Washington.
Concerns for rock and mud slides will increase
Wednesday into Thursday.
Water tables are high following weeks of wet wet
and snowy weather. For areas with poor drainage,
field flooding
may be an issue. Rises on creeks and small
streams will occur late this week as run off
from rain and melting snow increases.
