| Episode Narrative |
Post frontal showers developed in the wake of a cold front late in the afternoon across southern Pend Oreille County. A shallow layer of instability off the surface and ample low level moisture resulted in quick developing convective cells that produced heavy rainfall and pea sized hail. |
| Event Narrative |
Heavy rain washed out a section of a dirt road approximately three-quarters of a mile north of Newport on the west side of the Pend Oreille River. Recent road work by the planned utility development installing a fiber-optic cable along this section of the roadway likely made the hillside more susceptible to the washout. Property damage was estimated. |
