We are having a cool an wet start to the day here in Wisconsin, while the heat will be on again over eastern Washington and the Idaho Panhandle. Today looks like the hottest day of the week for the Spokane area, reaching about 96 degrees at the airport, to near 100 downtown and through Spokane Valley. Skies will be mostly sunny. Tomorrow will be nearly as hot, temperatures drop back into the 80s over the weekend.
An update on that accident on Interstate 90, that we passed yesterday. It happened about an hour before we drove through the area, 2:30pm CDT. 4 people were indeed killed. An eastbound Toyota sedan crossed the center divider, through the row of temporary posts, and collided with the westbound semi. The truck then went over into the eastbound lane hitting a Honda minivan. The driver of the Toyota, the only person in that car, was killed, along with three people in the minivan. The truck driver was not seriously injured. It had been raining prior to the accident, but the Minnesota State Patrol said that weather was probably not a contributing cause. Our prayers go out to the families of all those involved.
Wow glad you guys made it safely and will definitely be praying for the families involved in the accident..such a terrible tragedy.
