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 8, 4:58 AM PDT, 6 hours 25 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 8, 4:58 AM PDT, 6 hours 25 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Spokane WA
458 AM PDT Tue May 8 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Today will be warm with afternoon temperatures in the upper 70s to
low 80s. A cold front will arrive tonight bringing showers and
thunderstorms along with cooler temperatures for Wednesday. Cool,
showery, and breezy weather will linger into Thursday. Warm and
dry conditions will return over the weekend and persist into early
next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Today through Wednesday night: For today, quiet weather is on tap
with warmer temperatures. The satellite currently shows a fair
amount of clouds over the ID Panhandle and extreme northeast WA
this morning. The cloud-free areas will probably see some morning
fog develop given the high moisture and light winds. Any fog that
does form won't last long. The satellite also shows the next low
off-shore with a leading cold front. This will be moving onshore
for another interesting and exciting weather event tonight and
Wednesday.

The cold front will move across the Oregon Cascades late this
afternoon, firing thunderstorms over central Oregon. Hi-resolution
WRF models all show an organized area of convection that will move
from northeast Oregon into southeast Washington later this
evening. By midnight, precipitation from the front will extend
from the Methow valley to Lewiston, and from there will move
northeast overnight. While the best chance of thunderstorms will
be over southeast WA and the Lewiston area, I included a mention
of thunder throughout the area overnight as the cold front moves
through. A gusty outflow boundary similar to Sunday will accompany
the thunderstorms this evening.

Behind the front it will be breezy, especially in the Cascades.
North and east of Spokane showers and thunderstorms will redevelop
in the afternoon and continue Wednesday evening.

At this time I don't expect any of these thunderstorms to be
severe. Atmospheric moisture is very high (not unusual for this
time of year) so heavy downpours of rain are likely. But the
storms will be moving along at a decent speed so this will
mitigate local flooding concerns. See below for a recap of the
river warnings.  RJ

Thursday: There is decent model agreement that an upper low will
slide down the BC coast into Washington on Thursday. Chilly air
aloft will promote the development of showers. Convective coverage
will increase with daytime warming. By mid afternoon, the GFS,
NAM, and ECMWF forecast enough surface based instability to
include the mention of isolated to scattered thunderstorms over
northeast Washington into the Idaho Panhandle. With afternoon
temperatures in the 60s, storms that develop should be typical
spring cells capable of brief downpours and pea size hail. Breezy
winds will accompany the arrival of Thursday's low. Look for 15 to
25 mph winds out of the west from Wenatchee to Moses Lake to
Spokane and Pullman from late morning into early evening.

Friday: By Friday, our upper low will descend into southern Oregon
and end up over Nevada and Utah by the evening. A northerly
surface pressure gradient will develop which will likely produce
breezy north winds down the Okanogan Valley onto the Waterville
Plateau. The GFS holds onto enough shallow instability for widely
scattered showers over the Idaho Panhandle mountains through the
afternoon, but the remainder of the Inland Northwest should see
showers decrease by morning. Temperatures will rebound into the
low 70s across central and north central Washington on Friday, but
the Panhandle and eastern third of Washington will likely remain
in the 60s.

Saturday through Monday: The medium range models are in very good
agreement that a high pressure ridge will build over British
Columbia and Washington over the weekend as low pressure resides
over the Great Basin. Look for clearing skies on Saturday with
north or northeast winds in the 10 to 15mph range with locally
higher gusts along the Highway 95 corridor from Sandpoint to Coeur
d'Alene. Pressure gradients are forecast to relax Sunday yielding
lighter winds and warmer temperatures. By Sunday and Monday, most
of the Inland Northwest will climb into the upper 70s to low 80s.
