Snow possible Thanksgiving week on the Palouse

The National Weather Service predicts a 30% chance of snow in the Pullman and Moscow area by Thanksgiving morning. Wind gusts are anticipated to reach 35-40 mph on the Palouse from Sunday evening through Monday. The Cascade passes are also set to receive several rounds of snow starting Sunday night, potentially affecting travel conditions. The NWS recommends that travelers pack emergency supply kits, which should include blankets, battery booster cables, first-aid kits, and extra clothing. This inclement weather could complicate travel plans for those heading to family gatherings during the Thanksgiving holiday.

Residents are encouraged to stay informed about the developing weather situation. The forecast serves as a reminder of the challenges posed by winter weather in the Inland Northwest. Preparedness is key for ensuring safety on the roads during this time.
