Special Weather Statement

... First measurable snowfall in the Treasure valley expected
Friday evening into the overnight hours...

A winter storm moving in from the northwest will spread snowfall
across southeast Oregon Friday afternoon... and across southwest
Idaho Friday evening and overnight. The system is expected to be
relatively dry... producing only 2 to 5 inches of snow in the
mountains... and around 1 inch in the valleys.

However... it is important to note that this will be the first
measurable snow on the roadways of the heavily-populated Treasure
valley. An inch of snow is enough to cause travel difficulties if
traffic volume and Road conditions are conducive. Travelers should
allow for extra time as the roads may become slick.
