The following message is transmitted at the request of Idaho Panhandle
Avalanche Center Sandpoint ID.
...AVALANCHE WARNING BY THE IDAHO PANHANDLE AVALANCHE CENTER REMAINS IN EFFECT...
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)
* WHAT...An Avalanche Warning remains in effect until Wednesday 4
AM. Very dangerous avalanche conditions developed overnight and
will last though Tuesday as heavy, wet snowfall transitioned to
heavy rain along with strong winds.
* WHERE...The Selkirk Mountains, West and East Cabinet Mountains,
and the Silver Valley-Bitterroot Mountains.
* WHEN...In effect from Tue 6:00 PST to Wed 4:00 PST.
* IMPACTS... A potent atmospheric river characterized by near-
historic moisture is introducing a "firehose" of moisture into
North Idaho and Northwestern Montana. The rain line rose 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 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.
