Aviation Forecast Discussion

.AVIATION... 12Z TAFs: A cold upper-level low will move through the Inland Northwest today. Shower chances will continue over far northeast WA and ID. There will be enough instability across far northeast WA and north Idaho to support a 15-20% chance of lightning. KCOE has a 10% chance this afternoon. Winds become breezy through the morning to the afternoon from the west to southwest with gusts 20 to 25 knots, then decline after 02-04Z. Overall expect VFR conditions. FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND/OR ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: High confidence VFR conditions at all TAF sites. Low confidence in shower or thunderstorm developing over a given TAF site. ----------------------- 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 &&
