Public Information

Advisory: Winter Weather Advisory until 07:00AM Monday
An Arctic boundary will begin to slide into the region Sunday afternoon bringing gusty winds and much colder temperatures for Sunday night and Monday. Any precipitation falling will quickly transition to snow with the potential for light to moderate accumulations. Snow will continue into Monday in portions of the Idaho Panhandle bringing the potential for heavy accumulations. The combination of snow and flash freezing of moisture on roads will bring the potential for very slick travel conditions Sunday evening and during the Monday morning commute.
