Aviation Forecast Discussion

.AVIATION... 18Z TAFs: A weak disturbance will bring mid and high level clouds today. There will ACCAS that forms with weak instability at mid levels primarily over the northern mountains and into the Idaho Panhandle. Otherwise, deeper convection that builds is expected to do so north and east of the region today. Afternoon winds will be breezy, gusting near 15-20kts, starting up bit later near EAT. Wildfire smoke will continue to impact airports near the Cascades. Westerly winds is also expected to bring that smoke more into KGEG/KSFF/KCOE by Thursday morning. FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND/OR ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: High confidence in VFR conditions except KEAT where smoke will linger. There is moderate to high confidence for it to mix out by 20Z today, but equally as confident for some and reduced visibility to return overnight into Thursday morning. Smoke models also showing the potential for MVFR conditions with smoke and haze into KGEG/KSFF- KCOE by 15Z on Thursday. /SVH ----------------------- 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 &&
