.KEY MESSAGES...

- Warming trend returns Friday with above normal temperatures
  through this weekend.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
Warm temperatures will return for Friday into early next week.
Conditions will remain dry and winds will be locally breezy each
afternoon across Central Washington.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Through Monday: Clear skies are in place across the Inland
Northwest early this morning. In the wake of our recently passed
trough, temperatures will again climb to above normal through
at least Monday, likely peaking for most locations on Sunday.
Expect locally breezy winds each afternoon and evening, through
the Cascade gaps eastward to include portions of the Columbia
Basin and Okanogan Valley.

Monday night through Thursday: Extended range models indicate
the potential for a system pushing through early next week.
This will likely bring cooler temperatures and an increase in
winds. Any precip chances are focused across our NE zones, but
fire weather concerns may be more widespread. Certainly
something to watch in the coming days. /KD

.AVIATION...
06Z TAFS: VFR conditions are expected to continue for all TAF
sites through the 24hr TAF period.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND/OR ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: High confidence
that VFR conditions will continue at all TAF sites. The Hope
and Western Pines Fires over NE Washington could advect some
smoke into the Spokane/Coeur d`Alene area Thursday evening,
though visibility at the surface is not expected to drop below 6
miles at this time.
