The most recent high-resolution ensemble guidance indicates a low chance of relatively fast-moving high-based showers and perhaps isolated thunderstorms east of the Cascades in north-central Washington beginning late tomorrow (Sunday) evening through the overnight. At this time, uncertainty regarding lightning potential (due to strong capping and weak ascent) coupled with recent rainfall over the past 48-72 hours lowers confidence in dry thunderstorm potential.
