Weather over Wallace Idaho Today

Jump to Link Table

camera facing northwest Current view of I-90 traffic at Exit 0 in Montana looking northwest toward the Silver Valley in Idaho. Three more Exit 0 images from the Montana Department of Transportation's SCAN Web may also be viewed.

During the winter, see the Snowfall Forecast page for current regional weather, expected snowfall and snow quality maps. This page also now incorporates PRINTABLE Ten Day Weather Forecasts for both Ski Areas.

Mullan is a little mining town six miles east of Wallace on Interstate 90. Six miles further, at Exit 0, is Lookout Pass and Montana. The weather station at Mullan is actually located on Beacon Mountain, elevation 6026 feet, overlooking Lookout Pass Ski Area. Beacon Mountain is similar in elevation to Kellogg Peak, 6300 feet, and Wardner Peak, 6200 feet, at Silver Mountain Ski Area, located above Kellogg about 24 miles to the west on I-90.

So Wallace, at an elevation of 2728 feet, is always warmer than Mullan, elevation 3250. On the other hand, Coeur d'Alene, elevation 2127 feet, 40 miles west of Wallace on I-90 over Fourth of July Pass and beside the Lake, is usually, but not always, warmer.

Note that Idaho is on Pacific Time and Montana is on Mountain Time. The information shown in the above tables was provided by The Weather Channel by subscription.

However, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so here is what Interstate 90 looks like for those leaving Wallace and heading east to Mullan and Lookout Pass right now. Notice that Wallace is just out-of-sight around the bend and that the camera's time stamp doesn't care that it is daylight savings during the winter.
