.AVIATION... 
18Z TAFS: Good visibility and mainly clear skies are expected
through Wednesday morning. The arrival of a dry cold front will
lead to north winds increasing between 12z-18z. North wind
channeling down the Okanogan Valley will produce increasingly 
gusty winds for smaller airports like Omak, Grand Coulee, and 
Ephrata experiencing sustained winds of 15kts gusting to 25kts by 
18z. By Wednesday afternoon, the aforementioned airports will 
experience sustained 20-30kt winds with gusts up to 40kts. Our 00z
TAFs will include more information on this unfolding wind event 
for central and north central Washington including gusts of 25 to 
30kts for Moses Lake, Wenatchee, Pullman, Spokane International, 
and Lewiston.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND/OR ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: High confidence 
in VFR conditions through 18z Wednesday. Our 00z set of TAFs may
include some patchy blowing dust around Moses Lake. /GKoch
