SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — The National Weather Service says up to a foot of snow could fall Wednesday in the Spokane area.
A winter storm is bringing heavy snow and strong winds to the eastern third of Washington state and the Idaho Panhandle. The weather service says blizzard conditions can be expected by late morning in the Palouse, lasting until late afternoon.
The snow will be followed by frigid temperatures over the final days of the year, with the low possibly dipping below zero late Friday.
The state Transportation Department says motorists need to prepare for ice and snow across most of the state as they set out on holiday travel.
