AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPOKANE WA
430 AM PDT MON JUL 14 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A DRY WESTERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE THE INLAND NORTHWEST
THROUGH TUESDAY BEFORE A COUPLE OF WEAK DISTURBANCES TREK THROUGH
THE REGION AROUND MID-WEEK. EXPECT DRY AND BREEZY CONDITIONS
TODAY...WITH MORE WIDESPREAD WINDINESS ON TUESDAY. PRECIPITATION
CHANCES WILL REMAIN SMALL AND NEAR THE CANADIAN BORDER WEDNESDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...TODAY AND TONIGHT....MODERATELY BREEZY CONDITIONS
COMBINED WITH CRITICALLY LOW RH THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERN AGAIN
THIS PERIOD. LATEST WATER VAPOR LOOP DEPICTS A SHORT-WAVE TROUGH
MINORING OUT AS IT NEARS THE CANADIAN ROCKIES IN SERN B.C./SWRN
ALBERTA. EXPECT THE ASSOCIATED MID-LEVEL SPEED MAX...TRANSLATING
EASTWARD ACROSS OUR REGION EARLY THIS MORNING... TO EXIT SHORTLY
AFTER DAWN. THE PASSING WAVE DID GENERATE LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS FOR
RIDGETOP LOCATIONS EARLIER IN THE SHIFT AND ALSO KEPT RH/S AT
SEVERAL HIGH ELEV RAWS SITES ABOUT 15-20 POINTS LOWER THAN THIS TIME
SUNDAY. OTHERWISE...SIGNIFICANT CLOUD COVER REMAINS WELL TO THE
NORTH.

UPSTREAM... A BETTER DEFINED LOW HAD MOVED JUST INSIDE 140W. THIS
SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO GRADUALLY OPEN UP AND MORPH INTO A BAGGY
TROUGH THAT NEARS THE PACNW COAST EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. A COUPLE
OF VORT MAXES EMBEDDED IN THE DEVELOPING WEST-SOUTHWEST FLOW ARE
FORECAST BY THE NAM/GFS TO TREK ACROSS OUR REGION LATER THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. THE GFS SHOWS AN ESPECIALLY POTENT-LOOKING
VORT FEATURE CROSSING THE CASCADES AROUND MIDDAY. TOUGH TO PIN-
POINT THIS FEATURE IN SATELLITE AND...AS A RESULT...SUSPECT THAT IT
COULD BE CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK. GIVEN THE VERY DRY PROFILES AND
FACT THAT MOST OF THE MOISTURE IN THE GFS IS ABOVE 500 MB...HAVE
DISCOUNTED ITS SMALL QPF AREAS ACROSS OKANOGAN COUNTY.

MAIN ISSUE TODAY WILL BE INCREASING WIND AND WHETHER OR NOT RED FLAG
CONDITIONS WILL BE MET AND IF SO WIDESPREAD ENOUGH ALONG THE
CENTRAL/SC CASCADE VALLEYS...EXTENDING TO THE WATERVILLE PLATEAU AND
PARTS OF THE BASIN TO WARRANT A FIRE WX HIGHLIGHT. 09Z SURFACE
ANALYSIS SHOWED THE SFC TROUGH HAD INDEED SHIFTED INTO NORTH IDAHO
AS EXPECTED...WITH A WEAK MARINE PUSH WORKING ACROSS THE CENTRAL
BASIN REGION. WIND SPEEDS IN THE 850-700 MB LAYER ARE FORECAST TO BE
VERY SIMILAR TO SUNDAY IN THE 20-25 KT RANGE ...IF NOT SLIGHTLY
STRONGER. THUS POTENTIAL FOR GUSTS IN THE 25-30 MPH RANGE AGAIN THIS
AFTERNOON WITHIN WHAT WILL BE ANOTHER DEEPLY MIXED ENVIRONMENT. MIN
RH/S WILL BE SLIGHTLY HIGHER ALONG CENTRAL/SC CASCADE VALLEYS...BUT
STILL BELOW RFW THRESHOLDS. ALTHOUGH SUSTAINED WINDS LOOK SOMEWHAT
MARGINAL... FEEL THAT CONDITIONS WILL BE CRITICAL ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY
A RED FLAG WARNING FOR THE AFOREMENTIONED AREAS ESPECIALLY GIVEN A
DEEPENING MARINE LAYER LATE TODAY THAT WILL FORCE A SECOND AND MORE
ROBUST PUSH FOR OUR WESTERN AREAS TOWARD EVENING.  /JONES

TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...THE REGION TRANSITIONS TO SOUTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH APPROACHES THE REGION ON TUESDAY. A
WEAK COLD FRONT WILL SWING THROUGH THE INLAND NORTHWEST. VERY LITTLE
MOISTURE WITH THIS FEATURE BUT IT WILL SERVE TO INCREASE WINDS
TUESDAY AFTERNOON. WITH LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITIES EXPECTED AS WELL...A
FIRE WEATHER WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA. ON
WEDNESDAY THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS MOVES THROUGH THE AREA AS A VORT
LOBE ROUNDS THE BASE OF THE TROUGH. MOISTURE REMAINS LIMITED BUT THE
NORTHERN TIER COULD BE BRUSHED BY A FEW AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS.
TEMPERATURES WILL COOL A FEW DEGREES FROM TUESDAYS READINGS. BY
THURSDAY AN UPPER LOW DROPS DOWN THE BC COAST PUSHING UP HEIGHTS
OVER THE INLAND NORTHWEST. ON FRIDAY THE LOW STARTS TO SWING
ONSHORE. BOTH THE 18Z AND NOW THE 00Z RUN OF THE GFS BRING THIS
FEATURE MUCH FARTHER SOUTH THAN THE 00Z ECMWF WHICH TRACKS IT
ACROSS CENTRAL BC. THE GFS BRINGS THE CLOSED LOW OVER THE INLAND
NORTHWEST AND DROPS AROUND A QUARTER INCH OF QPF TO THE FORECAST
AREA AS THE LOW LINGERS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. I AM NOT QUITE READY
TO JUMP ON THIS SOLUTION BUT WILL START TO TREND IN THAT DIRECTION
BY INTRODUCING SOME CLOUD COVER AND A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE AFTERNOON PERIODS. WEEKEND MAX TEMPS HAVE
BEEN COOLED A FEW DEGREES AS WELL. /KELCH

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY AS THE REGION
REMAINS UNDER A DRY WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT.  AREAS OF SMOKE MAY BRIEFLY
IMPACT KEAT EARLY THIS MORNING...BUT VSBYS SHOULD REMAIN ABOVE MVFR
THRESHOLDS. AS THE DAY PROGRESSES...WEST AND SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL
INCREASE AT NEARLY ALL TAF SITES AFTER 18Z ESPECIALLY THE SPOKANE
AREA TERMINALS WHERE OCCASIONAL GUSTS OF 20-25 KTS ARE LIKELY. /JONES
