Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Spokane WA
1108 AM PST Sun Nov 24 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
A series of weather disturbances will move through the Inland 
Northwest today through Tuesday bringing mountain snow and 
possibly low elevation snow, which could impact travel. By mid 
week, blustery northerly winds and much colder temperatures arrive
with drier weather for the holiday weekend. 

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Made a few updates to the forecast this morning based on clearing
skies with gusty winds and persistant stratus and fog in the
Columbia Basin and valleys of northeast WA. Also some exposed
locations are warming faster than expected due to the wind. 
/rfox.

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAFS: Stubborn stratus and fog lifting from the Columbia 
Basin, especially near KMWH. West-southwest breezes will continue 
for the afternoon with local gusts near 20kt. This should keep the
boundary layer mixed with VFR conditions through the afternoon 
and evening. The exception being across the northern valleys from
KOMK to Colville and KSZT where IFR/MVFR cigs may continue into 
the afternoon. Snow showers will continue near the Cascade crest
and north Idaho with mtns obscured. Winds settle overnight while 
next weather disturbance ushers in mid and high clouds. There is a
chance of light snow showers developing by Monday morning along 
with patchy fog that could limit conditions down to MVFR or lower,
although confidence on location is low. /rfox.
