WEAK WINDS AND MAINLY CLEAR SKIES WILL DEVELOP OVER THE SAND CREEK
WILDFIRE TONIGHT. UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE LIGHT WINDS AND CLEAR SKIES...AND THE QUIET AND DRY WEATHER WILL
LIKELY PERSIST THROUGH THURSDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE AVERAGE
FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL
BRING A SMALL CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY. THERE WILL
BE A BETTER CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AS A SLOW
MOVING LOW STALLS OVER CENTRAL WASHINGTON.
