THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF NORTH IDAHO...
NORTH CENTRAL IDAHO...EAST CENTRAL WASHINGTON...NORTHEAST
WASHINGTON AND SOUTHEAST WASHINGTON.
.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT
NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY
THE COLD ARCTIC AIRMASS OVER THE INLAND NORTHWEST WILL SLOWLY
BREAKDOWN THROUGH THE WORKWEEK AS THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW TURNS
INCREASINGLY ONSHORE. THIS FLOW WILL RESULT IN INCREASING PACIFIC
MOISTURE...WHICH WILL BE FORCED OVER THE COLD AIR NEAR THE
GROUND. THIS MAY RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL FOR THE SOUTHEAST
QUARTER OF WASHINGTON AND THE CENTRAL IDAHO PANHANDLE LATE
SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. THERE IS STILL QUITE A BIT OF
UNCERTAINTY IN THIS SCENARIO...AS MUCH OF THE MOISTURE COULD
REMAIN WELL SOUTH OF THE WASHINGTON-OREGON BORDER THROUGH EARLY
NEXT WEEK.
