AVAOTX The following message is transmitted at the request of the Idaho Panhandle Avalanche Center. The Idaho Panhandle Avalanche Center in Sandpoint has issued a BACKCOUNTRY AVALANCHE WATCH for the following areas: NWS Spokane WA - ID 017 (Bonner County)...ID 021 (Boundary County)...ID 079 (Shoshone County) * WHAT...An Avalanche Watch is in effect from Saturday 6 AM PST to Sunday 6 AM PST. Very dangerous avalanche conditions are likely to develop by Sunday morning and raise the danger to High (Level 4of5). * WHERE...The Selkirk, West and East Cabinet, Purcell, and Bitterroot Mountains - Silver Valley above 4,000 feet. * WHEN...In effect from Sat 06:00 PST to Sun 06:00 PST. * IMPACTS...A warm, wet storm will deliver a combination of dense storm snow and moderate to heavy rainfall to the snowpack. The snow line will likely rise to between 6,000 and 7,000 feet by Sunday evening. The combination of strong winds and rain saturating the upper snowpack may be sufficient to overload weak snow layers and cause a widespread cycle of avalanches large enough to bury, injure, or kill a person. Some of these avalanches could release naturally, and it will become 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.

Flood Watch issued February 22 at 4:08PM PST until February 25 at 4:00AM PST by NWS Spokane WA

Effective: Sat February 22, 2025, 5:08 PM
Expires: Sun February 23, 2025, 6:15 AM

Heavy rain will fall on a deep primed snowpack leading to the melt increasing.

Flooding caused by ice jams on rivers with ice buildup is also possible. * WHERE...Portions of Idaho, including the following counties, Benewah, Bonner, Boundary, Kootenai, Latah, Lewis, Nez Perce and Shoshone and Washington, including the following counties, Asotin, Garfield, Spokane and Whitman. * WHEN...From 10 PM PST this evening through late Monday night. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas, including basements and crawlspaces. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - An atmospheric river will produce periods of moderate rainfall Saturday night into Monday. Rain, breezy winds, high temperatures in the upper 40s to low 50s, and overnight temperatures above freezing will contribute to rapid lowland snowmelt. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop. Prevent Water Ponding and Flooding: Move snow away from storm drains, home foundations, and window wells to ensure proper drainage.
