Expect increasing rain across the Inland Northwest on Tuesday morning, with rainfall totals ranging from less than a tenth of an inch in Central Washington to up to an inch in North Idaho. Accompanying the rain will be breezy south winds with gusts up to 30 mph, which will lead to minor rises on local rivers and streams without causing floods.
While most mountain passes will see minimal accumulation, Stevens Pass is expected to receive 4 to 6 inches of snow. Both Blewett Pass and Lookout Pass are currently slated for less than an inch of accumulation. Travelers should prepare for slippery road conditions, particularly when driving through Stevens Pass.
