Red Flag Warning — Lower Palouse / Snake River
Severity: Severe. Certainty: Likely.
...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH SATURDAY...

.A system moving into the area will combine with a southerly push
of monsoonal moisture, bringing scattered thunderstorms to this
region Saturday afternoon and evening. Locally heavy rain is
possible but lightning remains a concern in an area that has been
dry, especially away from the core of any heavy rain. Additionally,
gusty outflow winds from any thunderstorms may impact new or
existing wildfires.

PDT Saturday.

* Affected Area: Lower Palouse  -Snake River (Zone 709).

* Thunderstorms: Scattered showers and thunderstorms Saturday
afternoon and evening.

* Outflow Winds: Gusty outflow wind gusts up to 40 mph.

* Impacts: Lightning strikes will have the potential to start new
fires, and gusty and erratic outflow winds could cause
dangerous conditions around new and existing wildfires.
