PNW Storm: WA mountain passes likely closed until Sunday

SEATTLE (AP) — The latest storm to hit the Pacific Northwest has brought a halt to travel across Washington’s Cascade mountains, flood warnings, school closures and icy roads. Interstate 90 over Snoqualmie Pass in Washington state along with Stevens Pass on U.S. 2, White Pass on U.S. 12 and Blewett Pass on U.S. 97 were closed Thursday and were likely to remain closed until Sunday. Heavy rain and snowmelt were causing flooding in western Washington and Oregon as the latest atmospheric river moved into the region. Flood advisories and warnings were in place Thursday with some extending into Saturday.
