Winds will increase out of the west to southwest Friday afternoon and night with gusts 30-45 mph across the Columbia Basin into the Spokane area and Palouse. This may result in lightweight objects being blown around, patchy blowing dust near recently worked fields, and cross winds on north-south highways.
Chances for thunderstorms are increasing for Friday with a widespread 15-25% chance in the afternoon into the early evening across the Inland Northwest. Thunderstorms may result in gusty winds, small hail, and locally heavier downpours.
A weak system on Tuesday, will start to cool things and bring breezy conditions. Temperatures remain cool Wednesday, then rebound some Thursday before the next system moves in Thursday night into Friday. That will bring increasing rain chances, breezy to windy conditions and maybe a few t-storms north. Saturday will be drier but also the coolest day of the upcoming week.
