.DISCUSSION...
Today through next Monday: Stale dry pattern developing with a
high pressure strengthening off the west coast. 2 mb pressure
gradient across Stevens County keeping the northern valley frost
potential low tonight. Deer Park and Colville obs showing
sustained winds around 5 to 7 mph around 1 AM. It is getting
tough to get frost with how many hours of daylight we have. Will
have some potential for frost in the northern valleys tomorrow
morning with weakening pressure gradients and still very dry air
in place. MOS guidance showing potential for temps as low as 33
at Deer Park Tuesday morning. This pattern will bring a warming
trend through the week starting in the 70s and 80s today
increasing to mid 80s to mid 90s by this weekend. Winds will be
breezy daily, particularly in central WA with gusts around 10-20
mph. Friday stands out as the most breezy day with a shortwave
trough moving through southern BC and developing a weak surface
low in Alberta. Percent chance to see westerly wind gusts
greater than 30 mph Friday afternoon/evening - Douglas: 80%,
Wenatchee: 70%, Ephrata: 70%, Moses Lake: 45%. Trends continue
to look worrisome for fuels drying out under this very dry
pattern. /DB
