630 FXUS66 KOTX 020501 AFDOTX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Spokane WA 1001 PM PDT Mon Jul 1 2024 .SYNOPSIS... Mountain showers, seasonal temperatures, and breezy winds will recur through Wednesday. A drier and much warmer pattern will set up by the end of the work week. && .DISCUSSION... Early evening update: A weak mid level wave passing through the region in combination with some mid level instability has resulted in scattered showers persisting through the evening over the eastern third of WA and the Idaho Panhandle. Made some updates to the forecast based on current radar trends. The NAM and HRRR suggests some shower activity may persist beyond sunset into the early overnight hours from the Coeur d`Alene area into the Central Panhandle Mountains so the forecast reflects this as well. JW && .AVIATION... 06Z TAFS: Isolated showers mainly around Deer Park to Coeur d`Alene into the Central Panhandle Mountains will continue to wind down this evening into the overnight as drier air aloft gradually works in. Dry and breezy west-southwest winds will be common over the region Tuesday afternoon, with the strongest gusts at KEAT after 22z. There will still be enough lingering moisture and instability over the north Idaho Panhandle for a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms including Sandpoint and Bonners Ferry.
