SPOKANE, Wash.-- Warm and breezy conditions expected on Friday with temperatures in the mid to upper 80s.
A cold front pushes through that clashes with the warm air, producing thunderstorms that will pass through overnight into Saturday morning. The cold front will bring cooler temperatures for Saturday, but things start to warm up to the 80s for Sunday and all of next week.
Red Flag Warning
A Red Flag Warning takes effect at 2:00 p.m. and continues all the way through Saturday morning. The warning covers most of Eastern Washington including Kettle Falls, Ritzville, Pullman, Moses Lake, and Spokane.
A combination of low humidity, high wind, and thunderstorms produce a strong threat of fires starting. Any fires already burning have a strong chance of growing in size. Wind gusts are expected to stay in the double digits for most of Friday, and relative humidity could drop to the teens.
