During the morning of November 19th a low level jet stream was detected by weather balloons over extreme eastern Washington and northern Idaho.

In the northern Idaho panhandle a dozen large pine trees fell on summer homes along Lake Pend Oreille. In the Coeur D'Alene area numerous trees fell on houses and power lines. By 10:00 am a cold front swept through the region ending the strong southwesterly winds.
