An atmospheric river will bring moderate to locally heavy rainfall across the Inland Northwest Sunday through Monday with the heaviest rainfall occur Sunday night through Monday morning. Between 1 to 2 inches of rain is currently forecasted rain totals for the Cascades and for the mountains of the Idaho Panhandle. This will bring an increased risk for rock slides especially in areas of steep terrain, rises on small creeks and streams, and ponding in poor drainage areas.
After the widespread rain Monday morning, breezy to gusty winds and thunderstorms will continue through the afternoon. Wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph are possible across much of the region. This will result in rough water on lakes and toppled over loose objects. Thunderstorms may locally enhance winds in areas which may result in small tree or branch damage.
Temperatures are expected to warm significantly by around next Thursday, with the warming trend anticipated to continue into next weekend. Drier than normal conditions are looking more likely as well for Eastern Washington and North Idaho.
