Aviation Forecast Discussion

.AVIATION... 00Z TAFs: Mid and high level clouds are moving through the area. Breezy afternoon winds are expected to last until around 03Z. Except for EAT, expect VFR conditions to mostly continue through the TAF period. This westerly push of winds will bring smoke into the GEG and SFF terminals from around 11Z through 16-18Z, with ceilings and visibilities expected to stay at VFR. However, given uncertainty with smoke forecasts, conditions could reach MVFR briefly. COE will likely get smoke too, but smoke models show the thickest smoke avoiding the terminal to the north, so did not have enough confidence to put in the TAF. Winds will increase with a cold front passage around 15-18Z, and visibilities are expected to improve as those winds move in. FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND/OR ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: High confidence in VFR conditions except KEAT where smoke will linger. Moderate to high confidence in wind timing. Moderate confidence in smoke at GEG and SFF, and low confidence in smoke at COE. Smoke briefly bringing conditions down to MVFR will be the most impactful alternate scenario where amendments will be required. /AS ----------------------- 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:/www.weather.gov/otx/avndashboard &&
