AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPOKANE WA
241 PM PDT WED JUN 8 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A DEEP AND COOL UPPER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL PASS THROUGH THE
REGION TODAY BRINGING SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS TO MOST OF
EASTERN WASHINGTON AND NORTH IDAHO. A BRIEF BREAK IN THE UNSETTLED
WEATHER WILL OCCUR ON THURSDAY...WITH ANOTHER FRONTAL PASSAGE ON
FRIDAY. NEAR NORMAL CONDITIONS AND OCCASIONAL SHOWERY PERIODS WILL
PERSIST INTO NEXT WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEALS AN IMPRESSIVE AND COMPACT CUTOFF
LOW PRESSURE SPINNING OVER THE INLAND NW. FOR MUCH OF THE DAY...A
WRAP AROUND BAND OF RAIN HAS BEEN HUNG UP ACROSS NORTHERN WA AND
ID PRODUCING BETWEEN A QUARTER AND THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH OF
RAIN ACROSS NORTHEAST WA AND NORTH ID. MODELS...AS IS TYPICAL IN
THIS KIND OF A PATTERN...ARE HAVING SOME DIFFICULTY IN SIMULATING
THE PROGRESSION OF THIS RAIN BAND THIS EVENING. IT APPEARS THE
GENERAL TREND FOR THIS FEATURE WILL BE FOR IT TO SLOWLY DISSIPATE
AS IT TRANSITIONS SOUTHWESTWARD TOWARDS THE LOWER EAST SLOPES OF
THE CASCADES...WATERVILLE PLATEAU AND THE DEEP BASIN. RAINFALL
AMOUNTS SHOULD BE MUCH LESS ACROSS THE AFOREMENTIONED REGION...ON
THE ORDER OF A FEW HUNDREDTHS TO A TENTH OR TWO OF AN INCH.

EXPECT THE NUISANCE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS THAT HAVE
DEVELOPED THIS AFTERNOON OVER EASTERN WA AND THE SOUTHERN ID
PANHANDLE TO DISSIPATE RAPIDLY THIS EVENING. OTHERWISE...AN
ADDITIONAL WRAP AROUND BAND OF RAIN PREVIOUSLY ADVERTISED TO BRING
MORE RAIN TO NORTHERN ID OVERNIGHT APPEARS LESS PROMISING PER
RADAR TRENDS ACROSS WESTERN MONTANA. EXPECT A GENERAL DRYING TREND
AREAWIDE OVERNIGHT. /NEUMAN

THURS THROUGH SAT...THE STEERING FLOW WILL BECOME PROGRESSIVE...RESULTING
IN THE EXITING OF THE CURRENT COOL UPPER TROF THURS...A VERY BRIEF
DRYING PERIOD ACROSS THE COLUMBIA BASIN THUR NT...AND ANOTHER COLD
FRONT FRI FOLLOWED BY COOL AND UNSTABLE WX FOR THE WEEKEND.
OVERALL WE DID NOT MAKE BIG CHANGES TO THE PREVIOUS
FCST...FOCUSING ON PCPN AMNTS UP TO A COUPLE TENTHS THURS FOR N
ID. SNOW LEVELS WILL BE HIGH ENOUGH TO KEEP ANY LINGERING
ACCUMULATIONS ABOVE PASS LEVELS. COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE LATE FRI AND
FRI NT WON'T PRODUCE MORE THAN ABOUT TWO OR THREE TENTHS IN THE
MTNS OF N ID...AND THE BEST CHANCE OF SEEING HEAVIER AMNTS OF MTN
PCPN MAY BE ON SAT WHEN THE AIR MASS QUICKLY TRENDS TOWARD A MORE
UNSTABLE PATTERN UNDER THE UPPER TROF DURING PEAK HEATING. TO
ACCOUNT FOR THIS WE DID ADD THUNDER THE FCST FOR LATE SAT. /BZ

SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...A GRADUAL STRENGTHENING
OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC BASIN WILL LEAD TO A
FLAT FLOW REGIME FOR THE PACIFIC NW WITH THE PASSING OF WEAK
SHORTWAVE IMPULSES FROM TIME TO TIME. OVERALL...THE PATTERN WILL
TREND VERY CLOSE TO CLIMATOLOGY IN REGARDS TO TEMPERATURES AND
PRECIPITATION CHANCES...WHICH WHEN COMPARED TO THE LAST FEW
WEEKS...WILL BE RELATIVELY DRY. MODELS ARE SHOWING STRONG
CLUSTERING WITH THE LARGE-SCALE FLOW WITH THE MAIN DIFFERENCES
RELATED TO THE TIMING AND TRACK OF THE SMALLER SHORTWAVE IMPULSES.
EVEN SO...THERE WILL BE ENOUGH WESTERLY FLOW IN THE 850-700MB
LAYER TO INCLUDE THE CLIMATOLOGICAL RAIN SHADOW IN THE LEE OF THE
CASCADES WITH INCREASING RAIN CHANCES TOWARD NORTHEASTERN
WASHINGTON AND NORTHERN IDAHO. TEMPERATURES WILL BE AT OR JUST SHY
OF NORMAL FOR THE END OF THE WEEKEND...THEN WARMING NEAR TO
SLIGHTLY ABOVE THROUGH AND INTO THE END OF THE WEEK AS THE JET
STREAM SLOWLY DRIFTS NORTH OF THE BORDER OVER TIME. /SB

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAFS...A COMPACT UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE OVER THE COLUMBIA
BASIN THIS MORNING WILL SHIFT SLOWLY SOUTHEASTWARD INTO CENTRAL
IDAHO THROUGH TONIGHT. A LARGE AREA OF LOW CIGS AND LIGHT RAIN
OVER NORTHERN WA WILL SHIFT SOUTHWESTWARD INTO THE UPPER COLUMBIA
BASIN AND MAY IMPACT KEAT AND KMWH LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS
EVENING. CONVECTIVE SHOWERS CURRENTLY OVER THE SOUTHERN COLUMBIA
BASIN WILL SHIFT SOUTHEASTWARD INTO KLWS AND KPUW THIS AFTERNOON
BRINGING BRIEF MODERATE RAIN AND MVFR CIGS. AS DAYTIME HEATING SLOWLY
OCCURS ALONG THE KGEG-KCOE CORRIDOR A FEW ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED
SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP. OUTSIDE OF HEAVIER SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM CORES
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT ALL TAF SITES. OTHERWISE...FOG AND
IFR CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP FOR A FEW HOURS LATE TONIGHT
INTO TOMORROW MORNING ACROSS THE VALLEYS OF NORTHEAST WA AND NORTH
IDAHO...BUT THIS HIGHER IMPACT WEATHER SHOULD REMAIN NORTH AND
EAST OF THE TAF SITES. /NEUMAN

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
WE'RE LEANING TOWARD ENDING THE WATCHES FOR THE RIVES NEAR THE
CASCADES. WE'RE MONITORING THE LATEST TRENDS IN THE STAGES FOR N
ID...AND IT IS THESE N ID RIVERS THAT MAY POSE THE MOST
CHALLENGING PROBLEM DUE TO THE PROLONGED HEAVY PCPN THAT FELL
TODAY. WATCHES AND WARNINGS MAY BE ISSUED FOR BOUNDARY AND BONNER
COUNTY SHORTLY. STAY TUNED...BZ
