Gusty Winds Sunday

Significant Pattern Change

Strong winds develop Sunday from the west and southwest. Strongest winds will be in the mountains along with the Palouse, Columbia Basin, Waterville Plateau, & Spokane area. Widespread wind gusts of 30 to 40 mph will be common with local gusts of up to 50 mph.

A cold and wet pattern is in store for the very end of this week through mid next week. Sunday night through Thursday, there are increasing chances for moderate to heavy mountain snow in the Cascades and Idaho Panhandle Mountains. Additionally, colder temperatures will result in lowering snow levels, giving some lowland areas a chance at light snow. Ways to take precautions now include preparing for wintry travel across mountain passes next week, and keeping updated on the forecast!
