SPOKANE, Wash. — You’re waking up to a dry Monday with some patchy morning fog covering the northern valleys, especially around Omak and Bonners Ferry.

That freezing fog might impact your morning commute, as visibility could be reduced to less than one mile with extra slick roadway conditions.

Waking up to patchy freezing fog in several valley locations, especially around Omak and Bonners Ferry. Expect visibilities reduced to less than 1 mile & slick conditions. Drive with care this AM. #wawx #idwx pic.twitter.com/ZFN5xTMJYb

Our next winter storm system will move in on Tuesday, bringing a mixture of rain and snow across the Inland Northwest. The remainder of the week looks pretty mild for mid January, so get out and enjoy it!

Winter will turn more sloppy TUE through next weekend with milder temps. Daytime readings will be in the 30s and 40s, so look for rain and wet snow in the lowlands and periods of snow in the mountains. #WAWX #IDWX pic.twitter.com/noclMHUA9F
