KEY MESSAGES
-Temperatures trending warmer through Friday. Minor risk for heat related illness Thursday and Friday.
-Increasing rain shower chances Saturday afternoon and Sunday with incoming system.
-Warm, dry start to next week with a midweek system bringing the next round of showers and possible thunderstorms late Wednesday.
SYNOPSIS
Warmer and drier weather expected through Friday. Another weather system brings additional chances for rain and cooler temperatures to the region by Saturday. The region will have a quiet start to next week with a midweek system bringing a round of showers and possible thunderstorms.
DISCUSSION
Today through Friday: A ridge is building in behind yesterdays system. It will to a warming dry trend for the next several days. Friday is expected to be the warmest day with highs across the Basin climbing around 80. The National Blend of Models currently has a probability of 80% or higher for the Basin. The EC and GFS are cooler with upper 70s expected. With the position of the ridge apex over Western Washington, it will allow decent wind funneling through the Okanogan Valley on Thursday and Friday afternoons. Gusts into the mid 20s mph expected.
Overnight lows will dip into 30s and low 40s.
Saturday through Wednesday: The next wave of precipitation arrives Friday night as a wave dives south towards California.
With deep southerly flow, much of the area has a chance to see some rain. Amounts do not look very impressive however.
Generally expecting somewhere between a few hundreths to 0.25" by Saturday afternoon. Temperatures will be much cooler in the 60s. By Sunday, the INW will be left in a saddle pattern, favoring showery conditions in the mountains, and gusty winds.
Temperatures will warm back into the 70s Monday and Tuesday as another ridge starts to build. The ridge begins to breakdown on Wednesday as a Low from the Gulf of Alaska approaches. Ensembles are showing widespread rain showers through the end of the week. The instability parameters are showing an increase potential thunderstorm threat for the end of next week. /JDC
