.SYNOPSIS...
A warming trend is then expected from mid to late week with dry

will cool back to seasonal normals along with an increasing threat

.DISCUSSION...
Zonal flow across the Northwest will deliver another day of mild
temperatures under a mix of sun and clouds. A weak system that
passed to our north this morning will bring a slight increase in
southwest winds today across the Columbia Basin and into the
Spokane Area with a few hours of wind gusts between 15-25 mph
possible. High pressure will begin to amplify overnight into
tomorrow with lighter winds for Wednesday and continued mild
temperatures as well as dry weather conditions.  /sb
