Flood watch issued, U.S. 12 closed for avalanche control

LEWISTON – The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for much of the Quad Cities region from 4 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday. Urban and small stream flooding is possible in Nez Perce, Asotin, Latah, Whitman and Garfield counties. The Weather Service says many drainage systems are blocked, which could lead to increased flooding. In cities, snow berms can channel water down roads, creating additional problems. And ITD U.S. 12 is closed at Lolo Pass for avalanche control. It may re-open by as early as sometime tomorrow following avalanche control work.
