Area forecast discussion, Mar 18, 10:45 PM PDT, 39 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Spokane WA 1045 PM PDT Sat Mar 18 2017 .SYNOPSIS... Windy conditions associated with todays strong cold front passage will decrease tonight. The rain will also end this evening. Drier weather returns tomorrow and remains into Monday. The next chance of precipitation arrives around Tuesday with unsettled conditions expected through the next week. && .DISCUSSION... The cold front has pushed into Montana and the southern ID Panhandle. Winds are still a bit breezy with gusts in the 15-25 kt range, but these winds will quickly decrease overnight. Mainly just looking at some thin high clouds over the region for the rest of tonight. More sheltered mountain valleys will see the possibility for patchy fog come Sunday morning. /SVH && .AVIATION... 06Z TAFS: Pressure gradients will weaken through the rest of tonight with winds on the decrease. Patchy fog will be possible for airfields tucked away in the mountain valleys, but looks as if fog will stay out of the TAF sites where dew point depressions are higher and a bit more exposed to the winds. Otherwise, VFR conditions with scattered cirrus clouds through 06Z Monday. /SVH && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
