.DISCUSSION...
Damp and warmer conditions will continue into the weekend, as
waves of energy make their way into the Northwest Interior from a
low pressure in the Bering Sea. Daytime temperatures will rise as
high pressure to the east brings in warmer temperatures.
Temperatures will be upper 60s on Thursday, and then warming into
the low 70s. Minimum RH values will dry slightly, but with cloud
cover it will be moderated and stay above 40%. Daily chances for
scattered rain showers are possible through the weekend. The
showers on Thursday and Friday will not produce wetting rains.
Winds will generally be light and variable, as weak surface
features move through the Western Interior.
