Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Spokane WA
1113 AM PST Sun Dec 25 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Christmas Day will feature a bit of sun over some of central
Washington, but the Idaho Panhandle and the eastern third of
Washington are expected to see variable clouds with lingering
snow flurries. A fast moving storm system will bring the potential
for heavy snow and gusty winds Monday night and Tuesday.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Stratus remains entrenched across the extreme eastern portion of
Washington and the Panhandle. Meanwhile from the Columbia Basin
westward skies are mainly clear with just some isolated spots of
low clouds and fog. Some dry air is moving in from the west at the
lower levels and has been eroding the stratus through the
morning hours. Model guidance indicates that the stratus will
continue for northeast Washington and the Panhandle through the
afternoon, but for southeast Washington and portions of the
central Panhandle south of about I-90 may actually see some breaks
in the over cast. Areas that are in the stratus will see snow
flurries on and off through the afternoon. It looks like fog and
stratus will build back into the forecast area again tonight.
light southeast-south winds will push the moisture back into the
basin and Waterville Plateau as well. Anywhere that has the
stratus will have a good chance to see occasional flurries through
the night. Tobin

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAFS: Boundary layer moisture is getting eroded from the west
late this morning and that should continue through the afternoon.
This will result in at least partial clearing for KPUW-KLWS.
Further north it may be tougher to get KGEG-KSFF-KGEG to
completely clear out with conditions fluctuating wildly through
the afternoon from MVFR/IFR to VFR. Areas that have stratus will
also see occasional light snow flurries. Fog/stratus is expected
to rebuild back into the eastern TAf sites after 06z with
conditons dropping down to MVFR/IFR. Further west KEAT/KMWH are
VFR through 03z...But winds are expected to turn to lightly
southeast 03-06z which will allow the boundary layer moisture to
slosh back towards the lower east slopes with fog and stratus
returning overnight. Tobin
