Rain is returning to the Inland Northwest this weekend! Confidence has increased that widespread rain will occur Saturday night until Sunday night, with the heaviest rainfall favored across southeast Washington and the southern and central Idaho Panhandle. Rain will mostly be beneficial, but heavy rain could result in localized flooding and debris flows in urban areas, steep terrain, and near recently burned areas. Before the rain arrives, take a few minutes to clear leaves and debris from gutters and neighborhood storm drains to help prevent localized pooling.
