Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Spokane WA 1052 PM PDT MON JUN 29 2015 .SYNOPSIS... A weather system will trigger isolated to scattered thunderstorm activity through early this evening. Tuesday and beyond will be mainly dry but continued very warm. Friday looks to be the warmest day this week...with valley highs ranging from 96 to 104. && .DISCUSSION... The line of thunderstorms that moved across the northern mountains are now pushing into extreme northwest portion of Montana late this evening. Quieter weather is expected for the rest of tonight. As such, we have let the Red Flag Warning expire. Skies will clear across much of the region. All the rain that fell across the Northern Panhandle may produce a brief period of fog in those valleys, but any fog should burn off quickly in the morning on Tuesday. /SVH && .AVIATION... 06Z TAFS: Shortwave ridging of higher pressure will build in over the region. This will promote clearing skies and VFR conditions at all TAF sites. Patchy fog will be possible in the Northern Panhandle early Tuesday morning, but should remain north of KCOE. /SVH && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
