Calm morning, then showers, thunderstorms, and gusty winds

On this Friday we have a mostly calm morning with increasing unsettled weather later in the day. This afternoon, we will see the return of showers, thunderstorms, gusty winds, and blowing dust. Today we have near-normal temperatures with a high of 80 degrees.

What We’re Tracking

• Potential showers and thunderstorms tonight (pack a jacket/ raincoat if you’ll be out and about tonight)
• Strong winds expected to fuel those thunderstorms, especially in the Cascades, Palouse, the L-C Valley, and the Spokane area
• Blowing dust causing limited visibility on the roads from 2:00 pm to 8:00

Plan my Friday

• Near-normal temperatures with a high of 80 degrees today
• Partly sunny skies to start the day before we have shower potential in the afternoon- pack a raincoat for any outdoor plans tonight!
• Gusty winds expected this afternoon- visibility will be reduced at times due to blowing dust (advisory in place)

A Closer Look

• Highs in the upper 70s to low 80s
• Blowing dust advisory this afternoon- visibility from a quarter mile to a mile
• Be extra careful out on the roads- stretches of I-90, Highway 395, and Highway 2 could see impacts from blowing dust
