LONG TERM...Thursday through Monday

A persistent upper level ridge will dominate much of the West through the extended period. The main storm track is expected to remain north of the forecast area in WA, northern Idaho, and Canada, though northeast Oregon and west-central Idaho will have a few opportunities to be clipped by precipitation. The highest chances (20-40%) will be Friday and Sunday/Monday as the passing troughs flatten the ridge, with lower chances (10-20%) on Thursday and Saturday. The wavering nature of the ridge has reduced forecast confidence in maximum temperatures for the extended period, as cold pools will attempt to form in the lower valleys over time. Overall, temperatures should see a gradual warming trend, with the possibility of reaching 5-10 degrees above normal temperatures area-wide.
