Air Quality Alert

Tomorrow afternoon and evening from 1-8pm, there is a 20-30 percent chance of thunderstorms throughout NE Washington and the N Idaho Panhandle. Main impacts from these thunderstorms include lightning, gusty outflow winds up to 40 mph, and small hail. Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors!

Widespread breezy conditions will occur across the Inland Northwest today (Sunday). Patchy blowing dust is possible near recently worked fields, as well as choppy lake conditions.

Patchy Blowing Dust is possible Sunday afternoon, mainly along Highway 2 from Waterville to Wilbur. Visibility near recently plowed fields may drop to 2-5 miles.

Active fires this weekend will result in smoky skies with some areas expected to see degraded air quality. A cold front moving through on Sunday should provide some improvement, but rain that comes with the front will be light and unlikely to put out fires. Another warm and dry period next week may result in additional smoke from fires around the region. An air quality alert is in effect for portions of the northern Cascades to the Waterville Plateau until further notice.
