.DISCUSSION...Upper level ridging today will attribute to warming
temperatures as breezy winds will persist along the east slopes of
the Cascades and Kittitas Valley. Afternoon humidities will change
little from Thursday, and continue to decline through the weekend.
Concern arises late Saturday through Sunday as winds enhance
associated with an approaching upper level shortwave which will
lead to gusts of 30-40 mph through the Gorge and along the east
slopes of the Cascades. Currently, critical humidities stay over
our southern zones across Central Oregon while critical winds stay
over the Gorge and north. Thus, no products have been issued.
***Winds are 20 foot 10 minute averages***
***CWR-chance of wetting rain 0.10 or greater***
