Forecasters say another inch of snow Friday may add to the inch or two on the ground in Spokane and other areas of northeast Washington.

The National Weather Service said the snow should end late Friday but cold temperatures will remain through the weekend with highs in the 30s and lows in the 20s in Eastern Washington.

Temperatures also are below normal in Western Washington, with lows Friday night and Saturday night below freezing in much of the area. Forecasters said skies should be clear until another front arrives Sunday.

  • Mount Baker Highway reopens; ski area to open Saturday

    GLACIER - Mount Baker Highway east of Glacier reopened Friday, Dec. 21, after state Department of Transportation crews finished clearing the 175 trees that had toppled onto the road because of recent wet, snowy and windy weather.

    "It was a real team effort. We had 14 guys up there," Bronlea Mishler, DOT spokeswoman, said Friday of the effort that led to the 4 p.m. reopening. "A lot of work, 175 trees in the course of three whole days, that's amazing."

    That, in turn, will allow Mt. Baker Ski Area to reopen Saturday in full operation from both base areas, starting at 9 a.m.
