Daily forecasts will begin Wednesday, March 10th.

Discussion:  Another upper level trough will move into Eastern Washington this evening and on east Wednesday.  Clouds will be around the first part of the night but will likely clear in areas by morning, especially western sections.  The air remains cold and dry enough so that areas that clear could drop to the low to mid 20s Wednesday morning, with coldest areas expected in mid and upper Yakima Valley.  Protection may be needed again by morning in advanced areas where clouds clear.
