... The Flood Warning remains in effect until 300 PM PST Friday for
southeastern Spokane and southern Kootenai counties...
As of 9 PM on Thursday... the passage of a cold front has brought
falling snow levels and drier weather to the region. The arrival of
cooler temperatures this evening will slow the rate of snow
melt... and any additional rainfall will be relatively light.
For southern Spokane County... government officials reported an ice
jam on hangman creek upstream of Latah... which was causing flooding
in the vicinity of Tekoa in northeast Whitman County. Residents of
southern Spokane County living along hangman creek should be
cautious near the creek.
Officials report hangman creek at Spokane was running high but below
flood stage... with any impacts from local ice jams decreased. Brief
upward fluxes in levels are possible with some ice in the region.
However the creek is expected to remain at least a foot under flood
stage in the Spokane area.
For southern Kootenai County... emergency managers reported small
stream flooding in the Chain Lakes area... near Rose Lake and
Killarney Lake.
A Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent or has been reported.
Stream rises will be slow and flash flooding is not expected.
However... all interested parties should take necessary precautions
immediately.
Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the
roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross
safely. Move to higher ground.
