On Saturday, there is a chance for increased fire concerns in central WA due to breezy westerly winds and very low relative humidity. Sustained winds will be 20-30 mph and wind gusts will be 35-50 mph, alongside low relative humidity values.
A dry cold front passage will bring windy west winds 15-30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph to the INW, especially the Cascade gaps and Waterville Plateau. Small objects may be displaced, high profile vehicles will encounter strong cross winds, lakes will be choppy, and there may be patchy blowing dust between George and Ritzville.
