Spokane, WA — Drivers in Spokane are urged to stay cautious this morning as a flood advisory remains in effect until 11 a.m. along the SH-3/US-12 corridor. Heavy rain has created dangerous conditions in the Gwen fire burn scar area, leading to reports of rocks and debris obstructing sections of the road.
The National Weather Service (NWS) issued the advisory early Thursday morning after heavy rainfall overnight increased the risk of flooding and landslides. Rocks have already been spotted on US-12, making travel hazardous for those in the area. Motorists are advised to avoid the route if possible or proceed with extreme caution.
