NWS Forecaster Discussion
481 fxus66 kotx 071502 afdotx Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Spokane Washington 702 am PST Sat Nov 7 2009 Synopsis... heavy snow is expected over the high elevations of the inland northwest today and tonight. The mountains of northeast Washington...northern Idaho...and portions of the Cascades can expect big accumulations by Sunday morning. Monday will be a relatively dry day for the inland northwest...but another storm system will bring rain and high elevation snow to the region Monday night into Tuesday. && Discussion... A forecast update has been issued to lower precipitation chances this morning over a good chunk of eastern Washington. It appears that this morning's shortwave has come through faster and weaker than the 00z and 06z models suggested. 14z infrared satellite shows cooling cloud tops approaching the olympic peninsula...but the Omega with this wave probably won't impact the Spokane forecast area until afternoon. Surface pressure rises into the Columbia Basin suggest that precipitation chances will be low in the Moses Lake area and possibly as far East Spokane this morning. A weaker and faster wave this morning could potentially cut into the snowfall totals for the mountains of Idaho and northeast Washington. We were counting on a solid 3-6 inches this morning in the high elevations to reach Winter Storm Warning criteria. Snow totals may need to be adjusted downward. /Gkoch && Aviation... a pair of fast moving storm systems will move through Washington today and tonight. Look for precipitation to begin in the Spokane...Pullman...and Lewiston areas around 15z and continue through 18-19z. Temporary MVFR ceilings are possible for a couple of hours at kgeg...kcoe...ksff...and kpuw before precipitation quickly clears these airports. The second round of precipitation will spread across eastern Washington shortly after 00z. Look for possible MVFR ceilings again at the same terminals between 04z and 08z. /Gkoch && Preliminary point temps/pops...
