SEATTLE (AP) — The latest spring storm to hit Washington has brought more snow to the Cascade Mountains and gusty winds that toppled trees and caused scattered power outages in Eastern Washington.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning through Friday morning for the north and central Cascades.
Vehicles spinning out in snowy conditions caused intermittent closures of Interstate 90 over Snoqualmie Pass on Thursday.
The deadline to remove studded tires has been extended through April 17.
In Eastern Washington, the Weather Service says a 56 mph gust was clocked west of Moses Lake. Pullman recorded a 53 mph gust and Spokane International Airport saw 48 mph. The winds caused some trees to blow over in Spokane. Several utilities reported scattered power outages.
Friday’s forecast for both sides of the state calls for partly sunny skies with a chance of rain showers, possibly mixed with snow.
