... Fire Weather Watch in effect from this evening through Monday morning...
The National Weather Service in Spokane has issued a Fire Weather Watch... which is in effect from this evening through Monday morning.
Starting this evening and continuing into Monday morning... there will be a potentially significant lightning event over the mountain districts north of the Columbia Basin... the Okanogan and Methow valleys and the northern Columbia Basin in the Spokane area.
A cold front is forecast to move into the region tonight which will focus thunderstorms and potentially abundant lightning in these areas with little potential for widespread wetting rain. Thunderstorms will end in the Cascades and Okanogan Valley early Monday morning as the cold front moves through with increasing winds into Monday afternoon. Thunderstorms will linger over the northeastern districts through Monday morning... but begin to produce wetting rain from their cores as the day wears on.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Fire Weather Watch means that critical fire weather conditions are forecast to occur. Listen for later forecasts and possible red flag warnings.
