| Episode Narrative |
A warm, moist conveyor belt of subtropical moisture aimed into the Inland NW resulted in heavy valley rain across the Northern Idaho Panhandle with upwards of 1 to 2.5 inches of rainfall reported across Bonner and Kootenai Counties. The rain fell across areas which recently received heavy snow within the month. The combination of heavy rain, snow melt, and poor drainage due frozen grounds resulted in areas of minor flooding. |
