Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Spokane WA
258 AM PDT WED JUL 15 2015

.SYNOPSIS....
Seasonably warm, locally breezy conditions are expected through
Thursday. Thursday night and Friday a cold front is expected to
move in from the north with a chance of showers and thunderstorms,
especially near the Canadian border, with continued breezy
conditions. The thunderstorm threat primarily shifts to southeast
Washington and the central Panhandle Saturday. Sunday and Monday
high pressure returns, with drier and warmer weather. By Tuesday
another threat of showers arrives, though mainly near the Canadian
border.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Wednesday through Thursday evening: A strong Pacific jet will nose to
the northwest WA Coast driving an area of low pressure currently
over the Gulf of AK southeast into southwestern Canada then toward
the Northern Rockies. The combination of height falls over
southern Alberta and a deepening marine layer over western WA will
increase cross CWA pressure gradients and result in windy
conditions across the Inland Northwest through much of the period.
These winds will create moderate impacts to the fire weather
community. The trof drops into northeastern reaches of the CWA
tonight and Thursday ushering a cold front through. Not only will
this keep winds blowing but bring several degrees of cooling for
Thursday along with a gradual switch to northerly winds into the
evening hours on Thursday.

The air mass will be too dry to support any showers or thunderstorms
this afternoon however by Thursday afternoon, 500mb temperatures
cool near -16C over far NE WA and North Idaho to mention a slight
chance for a few convective cells. This only looks marginal at
best and will depend on how fast a second push of drier air comes
in from the northwest with the cold front. NAM is a few hours
slower which allows convection to fire Thur aftn between Ione and
Sandpoint and points north. The ECMWF/SREF support the NAM
boundary layer moisture but the GFS is quicker to bring down
dewpoints. Forecast favored the NAM at this point and will
continue to carry a small chance. Needless to say, neither
solution supports a big lightning event, but more or less a few
strikes during a short window of time Thursday afternoon.

Winds will steadily increase through the day today with speeds in the
Basin and adjacent Idaho valleys roughly 10-15 mph with gusts to
25 mph. The strongest winds will squeeze through the Cascade Gaps
and spill into the Waterville Plateau late afternoon and evening.
These locations will see winds 15 to 25 with gusts near 30 mph or
greater. Given these speeds and humidity near 20%, a red flag
warning has been issued for the Wenatchee Valley. Not to say
similar conditions will be achieved on the Waterville Plateau or
Columbia Basin but our local thresholds for fire weather
highlights carry drier humidity levels...which do not look to be
achieved. Winds continue to increase region-wide on Thursday with
speeds across most locations increasing between 10-20 mph with
stronger gusts. The Wenatchee Valley and portions of the
Basin/Palouse will experience sustained speeds 15-22 mph with
gusts 30-35 mph. The air mass will not be as dry with a slight
increase in humidity levels but still looks as if the Wenatchee
Valley will flirt with red flag conditions and highlights will
extend into the evening hours. Winds will be swinging around the
NW Thur evening in the Northern Mountains and Okanogan Valley. /sb

Thursday night through Friday night...Model guidance continues to
show good support for a shortwave trough and associated cold
front dropping southward through the Inland Northwest during this
period. We suspect the main impact of the passing front will be
increasing winds down the Okanogan Valley, Waterville Plateau, and
western Columbia Basin. Sustained speeds of 15 to 20 MPH will be
possible in these areas with gusts approaching 30 mph. These winds
will also be accompanied by relative humidity values in the teens.
This looks like it could be a red flag event for these locations,
with the best chances occurring in the Okanogan Valley. Aside from
the wind, there will be a chance of showers and thunderstorms.
Pinpointing where these will occur is getting difficult. If we
simply looked at the upper level forcing via jet dynamics and
q-vector convergence this should be a good setup with the best
lifting focusing near the Canadian border in the morning and
shifting toward the Oregon border by afternoon. However the
moisture and potential instability look lacking, especially for
locations south of I-90. The models have really been backing off
on their precipitation forecasts, with the wettest SREF keeping
all precipitation near the Canadian border. Systems moving in from
the north-northwest tend to underwhelm on precipitation potential
and with a rapidly falling precipitable water values moving in we
don't expect this event to buck the trend.

For Saturday most of the model solutions drop the 500 mb trough
axis into northern California while ridging begins to flop into
the region from the northwest. Meanwhile the upper level jet
shifts east of the Cascade crest resulting in rapid stabilization
from west to east. We will hold onto a small chance of showers and
thunderstorms on Saturday over extreme eastern Washington and the
Idaho Panhandle mainly due to diurnal heating. Meanwhile the winds
should decrease over most locations as the surface pressure
gradients weaken significantly.

For Sunday and Monday the upper level jet will continue to shift
east of the region as a ridge builds in. This will bring
increasing stability and drying conditions. The main highlight for
this period will be warming temperatures. Looks like most of the
area will see high temperatures warming above seasonal normals
with highs warming into the 90s for most locations with a few
lower 100s possible over the lower Columbia Basin. fx

Tuesday and Wednesday: A ridge pattern is expected to shift East
during this period as an incoming Low will begin to push into the
region increasing rain chances along the Canadian Border. Winds
will become breezy with gusts around 25 MPH in the Columbia Basin
as the gradient in the region tightens. Temperatures are expected
to be in the upper 80s to upper 90s. /JDC

&&

.AVIATION...
00Z TAFS: Southwest flow aloft may allow some storms to come off
the Blue Mountains towards KLWS thru 04-05Z. Convection is
expected to fall apart after 02-04z with the loss of daytime
heating although lingering mid level instability around KLWS may
result in a few showers persisting into the overnight hours. All
TAF sites are expected to remain VFR through 00z Thur.
