AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPOKANE WA
1001 PM PDT Mon Aug 12 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
Slight shower and thunderstorm chances linger over the far eastern
Washington and the Idaho Panhandle through Tuesday. A warming
and drying trend arrives Wednesday as high pressure builds in. A
weak cold front on or about Friday will bring temperatures back to
near normal but also promote increased winds leading into the
weekend. The chance of showers and thunderstorms will increase
with this frontal passage Friday...but activity will not be as
widespread as the previous few days.

.DISCUSSION...
Evening update: relatively quiet weather across the Inland NW at
this hour. Some showers and thunderstorm are found south of here,
however, across northeast Oregon through central Idaho (around the
Clearwaters) into Montana. A shortwave disturbance over central
Oregon helping to produce some of this activity is expected to
slide north-northeast tonight. Coupled with some elevated
instability, this will bring a threat of showers and perhaps some
thunderstorms across the eastern third of WA and north ID
overnight into early Tuesday, before the primary threat moves into
north ID...and perhaps along the WA/ID border and northeast
mountains...for the afternoon. /J. Cote'

.AVIATION...
06Z TAFS: Mainly VFR conditions through the next 24 hours. A wave
moving in from Oregon will bring a threat of some shower/thunderstorms
around the eastern TAF sites overnight and early Tuesday morning,
before the threat moves to mainly the ID TAF sites by afternoon,
where it will wane by Tuesday evening. /J. Cote'
