western Columbia Basin. A Red Flag Warning is in effect for one
more day of critical fire weather conditions. /SVH

.SYNOPSIS...
Breezy winds and dry conditions through Thursday will lead to
increased fire weather concerns. Temperatures continue to
gradually cool down for the rest of the week. Mountain
thunderstorm chances begin to increase Wednesday.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Tonight and Wednesday: The hottest part of the period is behind
us for the Inland Northwest. A weak shortwave from earlier has
weakened the ridge the over the region. A more robust trough
associated with a Gulf of Alaska Low will begin to dig off the
coast of the Pacific Northwest. Ensembles are in decent
agreement of the pattern change. The trends with the system have
trended warmer and breezier than previous runs. With that in
mind, fire weather concerns have carried over into the Wednesday
afternoon. The heat mixing with the dry, breezy conditions
continue to keep fire concerns for the Cascade Valleys and
western Columbia Basin. Winds will increase during the afternoon
with sustained in the teens and gusts up to 30 MPH possible.
Overnight temperatures are expected to bring a little relief
with a range in the upper 50s and 60s.

Thursday through Monday: The trough will bring cooler
temperatures with highs mainly in the 80s for Thursday and 70s
for the Friday and the weekend. Overnight temperatures will
continue to be in the 50s. The cooler temperatures are still
above normal for this time of year. The winds will continue to
be diurnally driven. They will become breezy during the
afternoon and calm overnight. Unfortunately, the trough is not
bringing a lot of moisture for the Inland Northwest. Any shower
activity is relegated to the Northeast WA and the ID Panhandle
with less than a tenth of an inch expected over the weekend.
Weak instability leads to a low chance of an isolated
thunderstorm in these areas. /JDC

.AVIATION...
00Z TAFS: VFR conditions will prevail. Winds remain breezy
through early evening at GEG/SFF/COE/PUW. Winds pick up around
00-02Z near EAT, with drainage winds coupling with the synoptic
winds, through about 09-12Z.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND/OR ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: High confidence
for VFR conditions. Conditions will be right for critical fire
weather conditions in the afternoon and evening near KEAT to
KWMH that may result in fires that impact these terminals
through Wednesday.

-----------------------

Confidence descriptors:
Low - Less than a 30 percent chance
Moderate - 30 to 70 percent chance
