Highway 27 Closed

Highway 27 between Fairfield and Tekoa is closed in both directions due to blowing snow and poor visibility.

The National Weather Service is reporting that near-whiteout conditions on the Palouse have the potential to be life threatening if you were to get stuck or go off the road.

Visibility on the Rathdrum Prairie in Idaho is being reported as very low and Idaho State Police are urging drivers to stay away from the area.
