The weather will be changing Monday as a strong system moving in. The day starts dry, but rain and thunderstorms chances increase after 3 to 4 pm and continue Monday night into Tuesday. The system has the potential to produce some strong thunderstorms or even isolated severe thunderstorms. The highest potential for these stronger thunderstorms will be over southeast WA and the central and southern ID Panhandle between 3 pm and 7 pm PDT.
Winds will be increasing through the day Monday, starting near the Cascades and central WA and expanding eastward in the later afternoon to evening. Speeds of 15-25 mph are possible with gusts of 35 mph, locally up to 50 mph.
A weather system early next week will bring cold conditions and light mountain snow above 5000 feet to the Cascades. While this is not a major snowstorm, freezing temperatures and damp conditions can catch backcountry recreationists off guard. Make sure to pack proper cold-weather gear, ensure your shelter is rated for the cold, and check the forecast one last time before you head out. Stay warm and stay safe!
