...WIDELY SCATTERED STORMS WITH FREQUENT LIGHTNING THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING... .Widely scattered thunderstorms are anticipated to develop this afternoon and evening and will be capable of producing frequent cloud-to-ground lighting and strong wind gusts up to 45 mph. While chances of wetting rain with storms that materialize are elevated at 50% or more, a higher storm coverage is anticipated compared to yesterday/Friday with an overall higher lightning risk.

Showers and thunderstorms have developed this afternoon across the Washington Cascade crests. These storms have produced abundant lighting and heavy downpours at times, with as much as an inch an hour reported near Stevens Pass. While these storms are largely expected to remain over the wilderness, those outdoors should consider finding shelter until storms dissipate. Those with friends or loved ones hiking or camping in the area should reach out if possible, as these storms could produce minor flooding in canyons or deep valleys, combined with the threat of lightning and even small hail.

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.
