WEATHER ALERT DAY: snow on the way tonight through Saturday – Kris

What we’re tracking

We are tracking another winter storm for Friday night – Saturday.  It is a Weather Alert Day for the northern valleys, where 6 – 12″ of heavy wet snow is possible.

Plan your Saturday

Many of us will wake up Saturday with several inches of new snow.  1 – 3″ of new snow will fall overnight Friday into Saturday morning in the Spokane and Coeur d’Alene area, with an additional 1 – 3″ possible before noon. Temperatures will start out in the 20s, but we will climb into the mid to upper 30s for highs. That will result in a transition to a rain/snow mix or just rain by the afternoon. WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES and WINTER STORM WARNINGS will continue through Saturday. In the northern valleys, 6 – 12″ of snow is possible.

Spokane and Coeur d’Alene forecast

The chance of snow showers will continue for Sunday, but with very light additional accumulations. After an active weekend, the cold will return. Expect highs in the 20s throughout next workweek.
