JUNE 2023 BROUGHT WARMER AND DRIER THAN NORMAL CONDITIONS TO
NORTHEAST WASHINGTON INTO THE NORTH IDAO PANHANDLE. DESPITE THE WARM
AND DRY MONTH, THERE WERE STILL A COUPLE ACTIVE PERIODS OF
THUNDERSTORMS. ON THE 8TH STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FORMED IN
NORTH IDAHO EAST OF COEUR D`ALENE BEFORE TRACKING TO THE WEST.
STORMS INITIALLY PRODUCED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS IN BAYVIEW, HARRISON,
ROCKFORD BAY, RATHDRUM, AND NEAR FERNAN LAKE.  STRONG WINDS KNOCKED
DOWN TREES AND POWER LINES, INCLUDING A CLOSURE OF HIGHWAY 97 NEAR
FERNAN LAKE. SEVERAL BOATS AND DOCKS WERE DAMAGED IN THE GOZZER
RANCH/ARROW POINT AREA ON LAKE COEUR D`ALENE. QUARTER SIZED HAIL WAS
REPORTED JUST NORTH OF ROSE LAKE. THE STORMS WEAKENED AS THEY
TRACKED INTO SPOKANE, DEER PARK, COLVILLE, AND CHEWELAH BUT STILL
PRODUCED MINOR TREE DAMAGE FROM THE GUSTY WINDS. ON THE 9TH
THUNDERSTORMS IN NORTH IDAHO RESULTED IN MINOR STREET FLOODING IN
SANDPOINT.  ON THE 13TH SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS FORMED IN THE NORTH
ID PANHANDLE AND FAR NE WASHINGTON. A FEW WERE SEVERE WITH QUARTER
SIZED HAIL IN BAYVIEW. ONE OF THE FEW COOL PERIODS OF THE SPRING
SETTLED IN FROM THE 18TH THROUGH THE 21ST AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
SAT OVER THE REGION. ON THE 20TH THE SPOKANE AIRPORT ONLY MANAGED TO
REACH 57F. AN ACTIVE THUNDERSTORM PERIOD RETURNED ON THE 26TH AND
ESPECIALLY THE 27TH WHEN SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCED GUSTY
WINDS AND TORRENTIAL RAIN OVER THE REGION. MUD AND WATER WAS
REPORTED ON STATE ROUTE 291 NEAR SWENSON ROAD. TREE DAMAGE WAS ALSO
REPORTED IN CHATTAROY.  ON THE 28TH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WITH
HEAVY RAIN WERE REPORTED IN THE IDAHO PANHANDLE WITH A WEATHER
