.DISCUSSION...Shortwave trough is moving across the region this
morning and bringing areas of scattered showers, mostly in the
higher terrain but a few weak echoes noted moving towards lower
elevation locations. Thunder chances possible both across the
eastern mountains of Oregon and along the eastern slopes of the
Washington Cascades. Expecting any storms that do occur should
have some accompanying moisture, but best chances at seeing
potential dry lightning would be weakening storms coming off the
Cascades. Breezy winds generally gusting between 20-40 mph today,
isolated stronger gusts for Columbia Basin/Simcoe
Highlands/Kittitas Valley. Some lower RH`s into the low 20`s to
teens possible for eastern Deschutes County through Grant County,
along with northern portions of the Columbia Basin, but not
expected to warrant red flag conditions at this time. As system
continues across region tomorrow, winds remain breezy though not
as strong and RH`s increase.
***Winds are 20 foot 10 minute averages***
***CWR-chance of wetting rain 0.10 or greater***
