What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Spokane, WA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at May 14, 10:56 PM PDT, 3 hours 31 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 14, 10:56 PM PDT, 3 hours 31 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Spokane WA
1056 PM PDT Mon May 14 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Expect warm temperatures through Wednesday with afternoon
temperatures in the 70s and 80s. Snowmelt will cause rises on
rivers, especially those fed by the Canadian mountains. A slow
moving low pressure  system will bring the potential for showers
and thunderstorms Wednesday and Thursday. Cooler, showery, and
breezy conditions on Friday will give way to mild weather over
the weekend.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

Updated Aviation Discussion

Tonight: It will be a mild night tonight as strong high pressure
aloft yields mainly clear skies and light winds. Overnight low
temperatures will be comparable to late June or early July with
50s over most of the region. Wenatchee may only bottom out in the
low 60s...just a few degrees away from their normal high of 70.

Tuesday: The warmest day of the week is expected to be Tue with
widespread low to mid 80s for the lowlands of the Inland
Northwest. A few spots around Moses Lake, Odessa, Wenatchee and
Omak may flirt with 90 degrees. By late in the day, we will be
watching the remnants of a cut-off low in the Great Basin creep
into Oregon and southern Idaho. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms are expected to develop over the high terrain of
Oregon during the afternoon. Some of this convective activity will
have a good shot of spreading into far southeast Washington and
the southern Idaho Panhandle by early to mid evening.

Wednesday and Thursday: Our most active weather of the week is
expected Wed and Thu with an influx of deep moisture. The
aforementioned remnants of a Great Basin low will languish over
Idaho and western Montana Wed and Thu. Clouds will knock high
temperatures down into the upper 70s and low 80s on Wed, but
afternoon heating combined with surface dewpoints well into the
50s will contribute to ample instability for thunderstorm
development by the afternoon. Weak mid-level flow will heighten
the potential for slow moving storms capable of heavy rainfall. At
this time, the NAM, GFS, and ECMWF suggest the Idaho Panhandle,
far southeast Washington, and perhaps far northeast Washington
will have a shot of cells that could produce localized rain
amounts of an inch or more. Extreme rain amounts like this will be
few and far between, but most of the Panhandle should get wet Wed
evening/night.

The air mass on Thursday will remain very moist with precipitable
water values around an inch. Instability Thu afternoon probably
won't be as high as Wed due to the likelihood of lingering
convective debris (clouds/showers). There probably won't be much
of a cap Thu afternoon, so it is tough to rule out showers and
thunderstorms anywhere across Idaho or eastern/central Washington.
Again, cells will have the potential to be slow moving, efficient
precipitation producers.

Friday: Shower chances have been increased a bit for Fri. The
morning model runs are slowing the arrival of a Canadian cold
front. It still looks like gusty north/northeast winds will
develop on Friday, but there may be enough residual moisture for
showers through the day. Cells won't shouldn't have as much
surface based instability as Wed or Thu since cooler surface
temperatures are expected on Fri with highs in the upper 60s to
mid 70s.

Saturday and Sunday: The models are struggling with the split flow
pattern for next weekend. Temperatures will continue to be 5 to 10
degrees above average, but it is unclear if there will be any
showers Sat or Sun. There are timing differences with a weak and
moist trough over the weekend. /GKoch

.HYDROLOGY...

Several rivers in the counties along the Canadian border have come
down since their peak late last week, however the return of
summer-like temperatures will push rivers up again. The Okanogan
River is one of the most concerning rivers in the region and will
likely crest over the weekend at levels that could rival the
historic floods of 1972. The Similkameen and Kettle Rivers also
have the potential to reach the major flood category late in the
week into the weekend. The outlook for the Pend Oreille system is
also ominous. Levels below Albeni Falls will likely exceed the
flooding of 2011 and may ultimately rival the big floods of 1997
in the next couple of weeks.

Food warning continue for the following rivers and lakes in
Washington and Idaho:

  Kettle River near Ferry above Curlew affecting Ferry County
  Okanogan River near Tonasket affecting Okanogan County
  Similkameen River near Nighthawk affecting Okanogan County
  Methow River near Pateros affecting Okanogan County
  Lake Pend Oreille at Hope affecting Bonner County
  Pend Oreille River below Albeni Falls affecting Bonner and Pend
  Oreille Counties
  St Joe River at St Maries affecting Benewah County

A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for the Lost River Community in
the upper Methow Valley of Okanogan county.

Areal Flood Warnings remain in effect for Okanogan and portions of
Ferry County.
