The holidays are getting closer, so be on the lookout for those watches and warnings

November has certainly shaped up as a different one weatherwise when compared to October. Last month, it was very dry as only 0.26 inches of rain fell in Coeur d’Alene, compared to the normal of 2.22 inches. As of the weekend, we’ve had 1.90 inches of rain at Cliff’s station for the first 12 days of November. That is more than September and October’s precipitation combined. For those two months, we had a total of 1.17 inches of rain.
At this time of year, I occasionally want to update the watches and warnings that are issued mostly in the late fall, winter, and early spring by the National Weather Service. With the increasing rain and snow activity expected across the Inland Northwest and other parts of the western portions of the country, it’s a good idea to know what’s in store weatherwise, especially if one is planning to hit the roadways to go to the mountains or visit friends and relatives over the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s holiday. The mountain passes, including the ones over the Cascades, can change very quickly and the roads can become extremely slick in a short period of time.
