AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPOKANE WA
706 PM PDT Wed Jul 24 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
Very warm and dry summertime weather will continue over the Inland
Northwest for the rest of the work week. A weak dry front will
bring increased winds late Friday and Saturday...and promote a
cooling trend to more seasonal conditions. It will be mainly dry
except for a small chance of showers and afternoon thunderstorms
over the northern mountains.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
A minor update to the forecast tonight to account for some cirrus
cloud cover moving across the northern two-thirds of the forecast
area this evening. These clouds are being generated by a very weak
wave moving through at upper levels in the westerly flow pattern.
Not very much moisture to speak of, but there is just enough for
these bands of cirrus clouds to get generated ahead of this wave.
We will continue to see some of this cirrus cloud cover developing
through tonight before it moves eastward late tomorrow morning.
This weak wave will also help to suppress the moisture over
eastern Oregon from pushing much further north than the Northeast
Blue Mtns and the Camas Prairie. No other forecast updates are
anticipated at this time as low temperatures look to be on track
for tonight and we will be too dry for any threat of precipitation.
/SVH

&&

.AVIATION...
00Z TAFS...The very dry atmosphere will keep all TAFs mostly clear
through Thursday afternoon with only some scattered high cirrus
brushing across the region. Winds will generally remain light and
terrain driven, except KEAT where winds will increase after about
02z with the typical diurnal push of northwest winds. /SVH
