Aviation Forecast Discussion

.AVIATION... 00Z TAFS: VFR conditions will prevail. Small airfields in the Cascades, northern Washington, and North Idaho may experience periods of MVFR conditions from smoke from local fires. FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND/OR ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: High confidence in VFR conditions at the TAF sites. ----------------------- Confidence descriptors: Low - Less than a 30 percent chance Moderate - 30 to 70 percent chance High - Greater than a 70 percent chance For additional probabilistic information for NWS Spokane airports, please refer to the Aviation Dashboard on our webpage: https:/weather.gov/otx/avndashboard &&
