LEWISTON, ID – The National Weather Service says the Inland Northwest will have cold temperatures with periods of snow starting tomorrow and continuing through Wednesday, with well below normal temperatures starting Monday. Meteorologists this past week provided three weather scenarios and it now appears that what they called “scenario one” is most likely to be the weather system which moves into the region.
The agency’s Greg Cook says there is still some uncertainty as to how cold and how much snow the region will experience. The Idaho and Cascade mountain passes will have moderate to heavy snow with periods of light to moderate snow in the lowlands.
Cook adds there is the potential for freezing rain during this period.
The cold spell will erode late next week into the Holiday weekend with a warming trend arriving late next week. Cook says this will bring flooding concerns, especially across the Palouse.
