THIS WILL BE THE FINAL CLEARWEST FROST FORECAST OF THIS  SEASON

Discussion:   Slightly cooler air will filter into North Central Washington from British Columbia early in the week but the air will warm again about mid week.  High pressure over Brittish Columbia will maintain a dry northeast flow into mid week while moisture associated with an upper level storm west of California will stay mainly south of Washington.  Later next week, moisture will increase over Eastern Washington and may lead to scattered showers near the end of the week.   Temperatures will continue well above normal through the week with no frost threat.

The 5 pm temperature at Omak was 86 with a dewpoint of  33.  
The 5 pm temperature at Wenatchee was 89 with a dewpoint of 28.
