Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Spokane WA
1039 AM PDT Mon Jul 16 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Today and tomorrow will be hot with mid to upper 90s common across
the Inland Northwest. A Heat Advisory is in effect for Moses
Lake, Omak and Wenatchee where triple digit heat is expected today
and tomorrow. Temperatures won't be as hot Wednesday through
Friday, but will remain above average. The potential for a cold
front over the weekend may bring readings down close to normal.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Low pressure system over northeast Oregon is slowly moving to the
east, but mid/high clouds from it are spreading north into our
forecast area. These clouds will be thinning as the move north
through the rest of the day and this evening, interrupting an
otherwise blue sky. Otherwise we're looking at a hot day across
the region, with the hottest weather in central Washington.
Temperatures tomorrow will be similar before cooling arrives on
Wednesday.  RJ

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAFS: VFR weather for the area through the next 24 hours.
Mid/high clouds will spread over the area from the south. Winds
will be generally light with the usual day/evening wind shifts.
