A winter storm warning has been issued for
Boundary and Bonner Counties and the northern
tip of Kootenai County, in effect from 4 a.m.
Saturday to 6 p.m. Sunday.
Heavy snow is expected, with eight to 16 inches
of new snow in the valleys and as much as three
feet at higher elevations.
Intermittent mostly light snow is expected
through today and into Saturday, increasing in
intensity Saturday afternoon and evening. The
snow is expected to ease up on Sunday, but winds
gusting from 30 to to 35 miles per hour will
make travel stay extremely difficult.
Snow and wind could also topple trees, blocking
roads and taking down power lines, resulting in
possible power outages.
Travel is not advised through the warning time
frame. If you must travel, keep an extra
flashlight, food and water in your vehicle in
case of an emergency. Check the latest road
conditions by calling 511. |
