KHQ Right Now - News and Weather for Spokane and North Idaho | Winter storm system moving into Idaho
Member Center:
KELLOGG, Idaho - Silver Mountain Ski Resort in North Idaho shut down on Tuesday because of high winds, and more high winds are expected to hit the Gem State later Tuesday into Wednesday.
A strong Pacific storm system is expected to move into Idaho Wednesday morning and forecasters are warning travelers to expect significant amounts of snow, ice and sleet.
The system should reach southwestern Idaho, the central mountains and the Camas Prairie region of north central Idaho by Wednesday morning, with snowfall amounts ranging between eight and 12 inches at elevations above 5,000 feet.
In addition, the National Weather Service says wind gusts that are blowing through northern Idaho may impact some of the same areas, creating drifting snow and limited visibility.
The Boise office of the National Weather Service says the winter storm warning will be in effect through Thursday morning as the storm moves eastward across Idaho.
Silver Mountain expects to be open for skiing on Wednesday as the storm system moves eastward.

Labor Day weekend weather: One day that's the best...and then there's the rest.
Tonight: higher-based clouds drift through with light winds and low temperatures in the upper 40's.
Friday: Savor days like this! Sunny with high temperatures in the mid 80's around Spokane and 90° in the Basin…High School football players and fans score a beautiful, warm evening.
Weekend Outlook:
Saturday: Sunny day and slightly cooler at 77°…A windy afternoon and evening with Southwest winds gusting 25-30mph picking up dust and buffeting drivers (including the golfing variety) …gusts over open water lakes will also make for tough boating and fishing conditions.
Sunday and Monday: Partly to mostly cloudy with highs down into the mid 60's. Scattered showers are likely Sunday afternoon into Monday morning with mountain T-storms. Campers venturing into the Idaho Panhandle Mountains should prepare for periods of stormy wet weather Sunday evening through Monday.
FYI: Expect cloudy skies and intermittent sprinkles for Seattle's "Bumbershoot" arts & music festival Sat-Mon. Dave
