...Return to cool and wet conditions Tuesday afternoon through

.DISCUSSION...Showers will end in Wallowa County this evening, and

of wetting rain over the Blue Mountains, Wallowas, and adjacent
valleys. The chance of wetting rain in other areas will be 20-40%.
Showers will taper off or end from the west late Wednesday.
Temperatures will be around 10-15 degrees below seasonal average
and it will be breezy to windy on Wednesday.


***Thunderstorms imply strong gusty winds***
***Winds are 20 foot 10 minute averages***
***CWR-chance of wetting rain 0.10 or greater***
