Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Spokane WA
1059 PM PDT Tue Mar 10 2026

.KEY MESSAGES...

- High winds Wednesday night into Thursday morning with
  potential for tree damage and power outages. High profile
  vehicles need to take caution.

- Moderate to heavy mountain snow this week over the Cascade and
  North Idaho mountain passes.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
Persistent snow will bring several days of winter travel
conditions over the mountains this week. We are also monitoring
Wednesday through Friday for heavy mountain snow, strong winds,
and the potential for light lowland snow accumulations in the
northern mountain valleys. Additional moderate snow in the
mountains will be possible into this weekend as well.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
PERIODS OF HEAVY SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS INTO FRIDAY. HIGH WINDS
WEDNESDAY EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING...

Tonight through Thursday:  A strong upper-level jet nosing into
the PacNW will deliver a myriad of weather impacts over the
next 48 hours. On a more widespread level will be strong/high
winds leading to moderate to major wind impacts. On a more local
scale will be heavy mountain snow and potential for major
impacts to travel over the mountain passes as well as rises on
some area rivers.

Winds: The main concern for damaging winds will be Wednesday night
into Thursday morning. A strong low pressure system will track
through southern BC and into the Canadian Plains. The low will
drop several millibars while crossing through southern Canada
reaching a minimum pressure near 996 mb. This is a classic
weather pattern for strong winds across the Inland NW. Timing is
a bit unusual, coming through Wednesday night into Thursday
morning, however the pressure gradient is expected to be quite
robust (~ 20 mb from Yakima to Lethbridge) and cold air
advection with the cold front will likely overcome overnight
stability. Models are in good agreement for sustained winds
20-40 mph with some areas (upper rim of the Columbia Basin)
flirting with sustained speeds of 40-50 mph. Wind gusts of 40-50
mph will be common with periods of 50-70 mph during the peak of
the winds. Speaking of, the strongest winds are expected early
Thursday morning between 2AM and 7AM. On the shoulders of these
times, winds will be strong with speeds more typical of wind
advisory speeds (ie. 20-30 mph gusting 40-50 mph). The greatest
uncertainty will be through the north-south drainages such as
Hwy 97 from Wenatchee to Omak, within the Methow Valley, and
across several of the mountain valleys within northern WA and
North Idaho. Given the southwest to west orientation of the
pressure gradients, these valleys may experience more infrequent
bursts vs a consistent wind. Winds will be exceptionally strong
over the ridgetops. 700mb winds which reside around 9-10k ft
are forecast to be 65-85kts, near the top percentile for speeds
at this level on this date. Several hi-res models are indicating
wind gusts of this magnitude across the highest, most exposed
peaks. Winds will remain gusty well into Thursday but the
potential for damaging wind gusts will be waning through the
late morning and afternoon as the surface low continues to track
east of the region.

Wind impacts: First and foremost will be potential for tree damage
and power outages. High profile vehicles, especially travel
Wednesday night, could encounter dangerous cross winds on north-
south highways. Would not rule out patchy blowing dust in the
Western Columbia Basin around Moses Lake; a dust channel formed
on March 8, 2026 resulting in a dust storm warning with weaker
winds. Lakes will be choppy and large lakes like Pend Oreille
may have wind waves and potential damage to docks.

Mountain Snow: The mountains are experiencing light snow showers
right now. Snow will pick up overnight into Wednesday morning
with the arrival of a moisture laden warm front. Snowfall rates
will be around 1"/hour or more at times at Stevens Pass. Snow
will continue at varying intensities through Thursday. There may
be a period Wednesday night into early Thursday morning when
temperatures climb just above freezing either resulting in very
heavy wet snow or rain/snow mix. This comes with the period of
strongest winds and issuance of the blizzard warning for Stevens
Pass. If the warming is stronger than expected and precip type
changes to rain (60/40 chance of rain/snow for 4-5 hours) then
this could mean less blowing and drifting snow as winds gusts
will be approaching 40-50 mph at pass level. Downed trees from
heavy wet snow and wet could become the hazard vs blizzard
conditions. Cold air will arrive before sunrise Thursday morning
which will bring an abrupt shift back to all snow and potential
for refreezing of any wet snow/moisture leading to icy
conditions.

One major uncertainty with the forecast is the amount of slop over
snow for the upper reaches of the Cascade river valleys. This
includes Leavenworth, Plain, Lake Wenatchee, upper Entiat River,
Stehekin, and Methow around Mazama/Winthrop. Projected snow
amounts vary from less than an inch to 10 inches with the higher
end around Plain and Lake Wenatchee. It is not only a battle of
potential warming at the valley floor but also amount of
moisture slopping over the crest.

Valley Snow: The air mass  is cold right now.  As the warm front
lifts into the region Wednesday morning, Precipitation will
start as snow for much of Eastern WA and North Idaho with a
transition to rain/snow then rain or end altogether. Highest
probabilities for an inch of snow for Wednesday morning (falling
during the morning commute) will be over North Idaho around
Sandpoint, Bonners Ferry, and into the valleys of Northeastern
WA.

Hydrology: We will be closely monitoring rivers and streams
in the lower Idaho Panhandle within the Palouse Basin. Rising
snow levels and increasing winds will result in snow melt for
the lower elevations and periods of rain following Wednesday
morning's snow or rain/snow mix. River models are showing
Paradise Creek and Palouse River at Potlatch rising near
bankfull Thursday-Friday. Stehekin is another basin that is
running at bankfull and expected to remain near elevated levels
through the weekend.

Friday-Tuesday: Mountain snow showers will continue to impact
the mountain passes heading into Friday but intensities will be
on the downward trend. When amounts are totaled for the Cascade
Crest from Wednesday through Friday, we will be talking about
feet of new snow (2-4 feet)! For the Idaho Panhandle mountains,
amounts will be on the order of 1-2 feet. The pattern begins to
buckle on Saturday with upper-level ridging building into the
PacNW though subtropical moisture topping the ridge will
continue to bring mountain snow and rain/snow. 50% of the
ensembles suggest the ridge will be flat enough to allow this
atmospheric river to slam into the Cascade Crest. The remaining
50% deflect the deeper moisture northward. This will need to be
monitored very closely for warm and wet conditions and rises on
area rivers. At this time, Sunday looks to deliver the driest
conditions with dry northwest flow before the ridge builds
inland. /sb

&&

.AVIATION...
06Z TAFS: VFR conditions will trend towards MVFR, perhaps IFR
tomorrow morning with a round of rain and snow moving through
the region. The best chances for MVFR cigs are at KGEG-KSFF-
KCOE-KPUW between 17z-4z (70-95% chance) with precip coming
through. Those chances decrease to 50-60% for IFR cigs. Precip
will begin as snow around 15-16z for KGEG-KSFF-KCOE-KPUW before
changing to rain quickly around 18-21z as temperatures warm up.
KEAT will also have rain much of Wednesday morning and into the
afternoon. West-southwest winds will increase through the
afternoon and evening hours as a low pressure moves through
southern BC. A front will approach the area after 6z, increasing
winds even further along with increasing pressure gradients.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND/OR ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: Moderate to high
confidence for snow to change to rain for eastern WA and north
ID terminals Wednesday morning. High confidence for MVFR
ceilings with this precipitation.

-----------------------

Confidence descriptors:
Low - Less than a 30 percent chance
Moderate - 30 to 70 percent chance
High - Greater than a 70 percent chance
