KEY MESSAGES
- Dry conditions will continue through early next week.
- Warming trend continues through the weekend.
- Breezier/wetter conditions early next week with a cold frontal passage.
DISCUSSION
A ridge will be situated just off the coast of the PacNW, bringing subsidence across the region. Temperatures will continue to trend warmer as a result through the weekend, where highs will warm to the mid to high 80s by Saturday afternoon. HeatRisk values are limited to 1 across the region which will have a chance to affect the most susceptible population who have no access to cooling or hydration.
A pattern change will emerge going into Monday & Tuesday as the upper level ridge moves east. At the same time, a trough will dig down from British Colombia into the PacNW, bringing unstable wetter conditions and ending the warm trend we will see through this week. Majority of the clusters (86 percent of members) paint a similar pattern of broad light to moderate showers across the region through days 5-7. The biggest struggle the clusters are facing is the timing of the trough approaching the area. An accompanied cold front will pass through Monday, bringing tight pressure gradients across the region. This will result in stronger, breezier winds across the region with no anticipated wind highlights out of this system. However, strong westerly winds will return just preceding the cold front bringing strong, breezy conditions across places like the Kittitas Valley (60 to 80 percent chance).
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
VFR conditions will persist through the forecast period. CIGs remain FEW/SCT to SKC through the period with mostly light winds under 10 kts. DLS/BDN is gusting to near 15 kts and will decrease after 6Z and 9Z respectively. 90
