Just when it appeared that the worst local
flooding in decades might be receding, the
National Weather Service has issued a call to
brace once again. According to the National Weather Service office in Spokane, thunderstorms bringing up to half an inch of rain are expected late tonight and into Friday, prompting them to issue a flash flood watch covering most of North Idaho and portions of astern Washington. "These storms will be capable of producing torrential rain," they warn. The watch is in effect from late this evening until Friday evening. Potential impacts of the predicted rain include urban flooding, rapid rises in small creeks and streams, potential landslides and an increased debris flow in creeks and rivers. |
