Center Hungry Horse MT.
...AVALANCHE WARNING ISSUED BY THE FLATHEAD AVALANCHE CENTER...
06:00 MST Tue Dec 09 2025
The Flathead Avalanche Center in Hungry Horse has issued a BACKCOUNTRY
AVALANCHE WARNING for the following areas:
NWS Missoula MT -
MTZ001 (MTZ001)...MTZ002 (MTZ002)
* WHAT...Heavy rain, heavy snowfall, strong winds, and above-freezing
temperatures have created very dangerous avalanche conditions.
* WHERE...The Whitefish, Swan, and Flathead Ranges, as well as the Apgar
Mountains, Lake McDonald Valley, and Marias Pass areas of Glacier National
Park.
* WHEN...In effect from Tue 06:00 MST to Wed 05:00 MST.
* IMPACTS...Large to very large natural avalanches are likely on mid- and
upper-elevation slopes; they may involve wet snow or dense slabs of new and
wind-drifted snow. These slides can run into low elevation terrain and
valley bottoms, including terrain where it doesn`t appear to be enough snow
cover for avalanche hazards.
* PRECAUTIONARY / PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...Very dangerous avalanche
conditions. Travel in and below avalanche terrain is not recommended.
Avalanches may run long distances and can run into mature forests, valley
floors, or flat terrain.
Consult http://www.flatheadavalanche.org/ or www.avalanche.org for more
detailed information.
Similar avalanche danger may exist at locations outside the coverage area of
this or any avalanche center.

Idaho Panhandle Avalanche Center Sandpoint ID
Relayed by National Weather Service Spokane WA
504 PM PST Mon Dec 8 2025
The Idaho Panhandle Avalanche Center in Sandpoint has issued a
BACKCOUNTRY AVALANCHE WARNING for the following areas:
NWS Missoula MT - MTZ001 (MTZ001)
NWS Spokane WA - ID 017 (Bonner County)...
ID 021 (Boundary County)...
ID 079 (Shoshone County)
* WHAT...An Avalanche Warning is in effect from Monday 4 PM to
Tuesday 4 PM. Very dangerous avalanche conditions will develop
overnight and last though Tuesday as heavy, wet snowfall
transitions to heavy rain along with strong winds. You can very
easily trigger avalanches large enough to bury or kill you, and
some will release spontaneously. Avoid travel in avalanche
terrain during this period.
* WHERE...The Selkirk Mountains, West and East Cabinet Mountains, and
the Silver Valley-Bitterroot Mountains above 4,000 feet.
* WHEN...In effect from Mon 16:00 PST to Tue 16:00 PST.
* IMPACTS...A potent atmospheric river characterized by near-
historic moisture will introduce a firehose of moisture into
North Idaho and Northwestern Montana. The rain line will rise to
around 7,000 to 7,500 feet overnight Monday and will saturate
recent snowfall and overload pre-existing weak snow layers. It
will be very likely for backcountry travelers to trigger
avalanches and natural avalanches are likely. Avalanches can
break wide across terrain features and run long distances to
lower elevations.
* PRECAUTIONARY / PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...Travel in avalanche terrain
is not recommended during this period.
Consult http://www.idahopanhandleavalanche.org/ or

BULLETIN - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Backcountry Avalanche Watch
Idaho Panhandle Avalanche Center Sandpoint ID
Relayed by National Weather Service Missoula MT
713 AM MST Mon Dec 8 2025
The following message is transmitted at the request of Idaho Panhandle
Avalanche Center Sandpoint ID.
...AVALANCHE WATCH ISSUED BY THE IDAHO PANHANDLE AVALANCHE CENTER...
06:00 PST Mon Dec 08 2025
The Idaho Panhandle Avalanche Center in Sandpoint has issued a BACKCOUNTRY
AVALANCHE WATCH for the following areas:
NWS Missoula MT - MTZ001 (MTZ001)
NWS Spokane WA - ID 017 (Bonner County)...ID 021 (Boundary County)...ID 079
(Shoshone County)
* WHAT...An Avalanche Watch is in effect from Monday 6 AM PST to Monday 4 PM
PST. Very dangerous avalanche conditions could develop overnight Monday
and raise the danger to High (Level 4 of 5).
* WHERE...The Selkirk, West and East Cabinet Mountains, and Bitterroot
Mountains - Silver Valley.
* WHEN...In effect from Mon 06:00 PST to Mon 16:00 PST.
* IMPACTS...Heavy, wet snowfall Monday will transition to heavy rain
overnight. A potent atmospheric river characterized by near-historic
moisture will introduce a firehose of moisture into North Idaho and
Northwestern Montana. The rain line will rise to around 7,000 feet
overnight Monday and will saturate recent snowfall and buried weak layers,
and could provoke a widespread cycle of avalanches large enough to bury,
injure, or kill a person. Some of these avalanches could release naturally,
and it will be very easy for backcountry travelers to trigger them.
* PRECAUTIONARY / PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...Travel in or below avalanche
terrain is not recommended during this period.
Consult http://www.idahopanhandleavalanche.org/ or www.avalanche.org for
more detailed information.
Similar avalanche danger may exist at locations outside the coverage area of
this or any avalanche center.

...HEAVY RAINFALL THIS WEEK WILL LEAD TO AN INCREASED THREAT OF
LANDSLIDES IN WESTERN WASHINGTON...
Rainfall of up to 8 inches over the past several days has increased
antecedent soil moisture to high levels across western Washington.
Heavy rainfall of 1 to 5 inches across the lowlands and 4 to 10
inches over the Olympics and Cascades is expected through late
Wednesday. Wet and unsettled conditions are also favored to continue
through the rest of the week. This amount of rain will put extra
pressure on soil instability, leading to an increased threat of
landslides and debris flows, especially from recent burned areas.
A mudslide has already been reported along I-90 Monday evening near
North Bend, causing closures. More landslides are possible.
Areas most susceptible to landslides debris flows under these
conditions are steep coastal bluffs, other steep hillsides or
road cuts, and recent burned areas. A diminishing threat of
landslides and debris flows will continue for several days after
the rain ends.

www.weather.gov/seattle, select Hydrology, and then scroll down

...RIVERS RISING IN THE WASHINGTON CASCADES THIS WEEK...
Rains that brought rising river levels to the area, especially the
Washington Cascades over the weekend, will be compounded as another
round of heavier precipitation is fed by a strong atmospheric river
over the next several days.
Currently, the Naches River at Naches and the Yakima River at Parker
and Kiona are forecast to reach moderate flood stage Thursday
through Friday. The Naches River at Cliffdell, and the Yakima River
at Easton, Horlick, and Umatanum are forecast to reach minor flood
stage tonight through Wednesday. Confidence is moderate (45-70%) in
the forecast as steady rain and warm temperatures will persist
through the midweek.
