FXUS66 KOTX 181654 AFDOTX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Spokane WA 954 AM PDT Fri Apr 18 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... *No significant weather expected over the next seven days. && .SYNOPSIS... Above average temperatures will return today with highs in the 60s. Saturday through Monday will see seasonable temperatures along with chances for showers. Warm and dry conditions are expected to return toward the middle of next week. && .DISCUSSION... We look to turn a bit warmer again today (with daytime temps about 3 to 7 degrees warmer than yesterday). For the weekend, temps cool back to around normal and unsettled conditions are anticipated as a series of weak disturbances push across the Inland Northwest. Though precip amounts are likely to be light, it could put a damper on weekend activities at times, along with bringing some light snow to the mountains and passes. Breezy westerly winds anticipated Saturday through Monday as well. Largely dry weather with warmer temps are favored to return the middle of next week. In all, not a very active 7-day forecast, but overnight temperature drops may lead to locally freezing conditions with the potential to harm sensitive plants. /KD && AVIATION... 18Z TAFS: Expect periods of mid and high level cloudiness through Friday night.
