Weather Outlook

A break in the quiet weather pattern arrives by mid-week with light precipitation starting Wednesday. There is a low chance (20%) of a wintry mix, including pockets of freezing rain, early Wednesday morning for the Columbia Basin and the Palouse, with light snow for the mountain passes and northern valleys. Temperatures trend warmer by Thursday, transitioning precipitation to primarily lowland rain and mountain snow, though colder air holding on in the northern valleys favors snow in the forecast there.
