The National Weather Service on Sunday issued a winter storm warning for the Cascade Mountains in Washington and a winter weather advisory for the mountains of northern and north central Idaho. 

Forecasters are calling for 12 to 18 inches of snow in the Cascades and 4 to 8 inches in the mountains of Idaho. In Idaho, they say 3 to 8 inches are possible in the Clearwater Mountains from Elk River to Dixie. In southeastern Washington’s Blue Mountains, 4 to 8 inches of snowfall is possible, especially in higher elevation areas. 

The Palouse and Camas Prairie could see about an inch of snow accumulate tonight but meteorologist Greg Koch says it will likely melt away. The LC Valley will see rain instead of snow, but the valley could see wind gusts of 30 to 35 miles per hour. (Lewiston Tribune)
