A mild and breezy weather pattern will settle into the Inland NW this week. Rain, heavy at times will impact the Cascade Crest. Light to moderate rain will impact the North Idaho Panhandle. Light rain will expand into far Eastern WA at times. Snow levels will rise near 7000 feet or higher. The combination of mountain rain and snow melt will lead to rises on area rivers especially in the Cascades and Idaho Panhandle. Winds will be persistent out of the southwest through the week and will gust to between 25 and 40 mph.
A mild but wet strech lies ahead for the Inland Northwest. Wednesday and Thursday will be quite warm with highs in the 60s and 70s with rain forecast over the Cascades and the Idaho Panhandle. By Friday, expect widespread rain across the region. An incoming cold front will bring cooler temperatures just in time for the weekend. The Idaho Panhandle will briefly see chances for a rain/snow mix before dry air moves in and clouds clear out on Sunday. If you plan on searching for any pots of gold before then, you may want to bring an umbrella.
