More heavy snow possible Wednesday night

February 6, 2017

In its latest hazardous weather outlook for North Idaho and northeast Washington, the National Weather Service is forecasting another winter storm capable of producing heavy snow to begin Wednesday night and last through Thursday. There is a slight chance of widely scattered snow showers Tuesday, bringing only slight accumulations and offering a respite to allow catching up after our most recent heavy snowfall. Light snow is forecast to begin at about 4 p.m. Wednesday, then pick up after 10 p.m. to bring an additional two to four inches by the end of the day. From midnight to 10 a.m. Thursday, up to three more inches could fall before temperatures warm and precipitation turns to rain. The rain is expected to turn to a rain/snow mix at about 10 p.m., then to snow as temperatures drop below freezing. Afterward, snow showers are likely to continue off and on through Saturday, but accumulations are expected to be less than half inch.
