Isolated to scattered thunderstorms containing little to no
rainfall will be possible over much of Washington this afternoon
and tonight. Any thunderstorms have the potential to produce
gusty outflow winds that could travel quite a distance from the
thunderstorm source.
* Affected Area: Fire Weather Zone 709 Lower Palouse - Snake
River.
* Thunderstorms: Isolated to scattered thunderstorms through the
evening.
* Outflow Winds: Gusty and erratic winds are possible with any
thunderstorms that develop. The outflow winds could travel quite
a distance from the core of the storm.
* Impacts: Thunderstorms containing little to no rain and gusty
winds combined with dry fuels will lead to the potential for new
fire starts in addition to current fires, may overwhelm initial
attack capabilities.

An Air Quality Alert has been issued by the following agencies:
Washington Department of Ecology
An Air Quality Alert, issued for all of Chelan County plus
the Methow Valley down to Brewster in Okanogan County will remain
in effect until further notice, due to expected smoke from the
Pioneer Fire and other regional wildfires. Particulate matter
(PM2.5) may reach Unhealthy and Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups
levels.
Health Impacts and Recommended Actions: When air quality is Unhealthy,
everyone should reduce exposure. Limit time outside, avoid strenuous
activity, and follow tips for cleaner indoor air. When air quality
is Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups, sensitive groups should take steps
to reduce exposure. Limit time outside, avoid strenuous outdoor
activity, and follow tips for cleaner indoor air. Everyone should
watch for symptoms as a sign to reduce exposure.
Agricultural and outdoor burning restrictions are in effect.
* AFFECTED AREA...Fire Weather Zone 652 West Portion of the

* THUNDERSTORMS...Scattered thunderstorms with LAL 3 are expected
during the afternoon and evening hours.
* OUTFLOW WINDS...Gusty and erratic winds are possible in the
vicinity of any thunderstorms that develop.

fire starts. Thunderstorms can also bring sudden sharp wind
shifts on existing fires, causing rapid changes in a fire's
rate of spread and direction of spread. Thunderstorm outflow
winds can be a threat for several hours following the start of
a new lightning-caused fire. If a fire were to begin, air
quality may diminish in the surrounding area.
