BOUNDARY COUNTY --- County warns of first snow coming Thursday night.

A strong storm system is expected to move into the region Thursday night and continuing to impact the area through early Saturday, Andrew O'Nell, Boundary County Public Information Office wrote.

The initial impact of this system will be widespread moderate snow (3"-4") which will be followed by breezy conditions with wind gusts of 15 to 20mph expected from Friday night into Saturday morning.

A few higher mountain locations will see stronger wind speeds. Speeds of this magnitude combined with leaves and possible snow on the trees could lead to damage and subsequent power outages. Another round of light to moderate snow is expected for the latter half of the weekend followed by much colder temperatures for next week with the continued chances for snow.
