through next week. A few isolated thunderstorms are possible across the 
higher terrain of the Nez Perce National Forest later today. High based
moisture will surge northward Tuesday into Wednesday which will allow 
for a better chance for showers and thunderstorms, some of which could 
produce strong erratic winds.
