Christmas About To Become Whiter

Don’t put away those snow shovels just yet.

After a crystal-clear Christmas Day, it looks like snow-laden clouds have returned with a vengeance to the Inland Northwest.

The National Weather Service in Spokane has issued a winter storm warning for possibly heavy snow today and Friday.

High temperatures are expected to be the mid-20s today, with an estimated 4-8 inches of snow that will begin to fall in the early afternoon. Another 3-5 inches could fall tonight, with low temperatures near 20.

The weather service also is predicting a 70 percent chance of snow Friday.
