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. /GKoch && .HYDROLOGY... We have the following flood watches and warnings out. Flood Warnings * Moyie River in Boundary County. * St Joe River in Benewah County. * Okanogan River in Okanogan County. * Kettle River in Ferry County. Flood Watches * Similkameen River in Okanogan County. * Stehekin River in Chelan County. && .AVIATION... 12z TAFS: LIFR fog and stratus are possible at KGEG/KSFF/KCOE this morning. Otherwise conditions should be VFR at all TAF sites with light winds and increasing high clouds. A cold front will move into the region from the southwest bringing showers and possible thunderstorms to all TAF sites. KLWS and KPUW have the best chance of thunderstorms, but they are possible at the other TAF sites as well. Heavy rain will accompany the thunderstorms which could produce brief IFR conditions.
