.DISCUSSION...An upper level low pressure system continues to
pass through our area, providing breezy winds, discrete
thunderstorms, and periods of moderate rain. Wind Advisories
extend through the evening for areas of the Lower Columbia Basin,
north central Oregon, and across the Kittitas Valley, but will
dissipate after 5 PM. Winds will slowly subside overnight into
Thursday as a brief ridge moves into the area. Warming
temperatures will continue through the workweek as showers
return Friday afternoon to our mountain zones and the foothills,
with thunderstorm (10-20%) chances over the eastern mountains.
***Thunderstorms imply strong gusty winds***
***Winds are 20 foot 10 minute averages***
***CWR-chance of wetting rain 0.10 or greater***
