As a large pool of moisture streams in from the Pacific Ocean, snow will fall over the mountains of the West into Thursday.
Most of the snow will fall over the Bitterroot and Clearwater ranges in central and northern Idaho to northwestern Montana.
There can be a slushy accumulation over Lookout Pass along I-90 tonight as snow levels fall to near the valley floors of some locations. Several inches of snow are forecast to fall over the high country.
Snow levels will then rise during the midday and afternoon hours Thursday.

Valley/low-elevation rain showers and mountain snow showers will extend from western Washington to northern California, eastward to western Montana and northwestern Wyoming into Thursday.
