.SHORT TERM /Through Wednesday Night/...
Issued 236 PM MDT SUN SEP 6 2026
An upper level trough continues to track across southern OR
this afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms increase late this
afternoon across eastern OR, with isolated showers and
thunderstorms over the west central ID and Owyhee mountains.

A convergence zone will set up in wake of the Wallowas late
Monday afternoon keeping showers and thunderstorms north of

&&

.LONG TERM /Thursday through Monday/...
Issued 236 PM MDT SUN SEP 6 2026
A warming trend will continue Wednesday through Thursday as the
cool core upper level trough moves east with weak ridging. A
trough from the Gulf of Alaska will move south along the BC
coast into the Pacific NW by Saturday with cooler and windy
conditions possible next weekend. Uncertainty remains elevated
in the extended period, as tropical activity in the Pacific
enhances the jet stream. Models do not handle the energy
transfer well in these situations so expect lots of changes in
the far extended period over the next week with all these
tropical systems across the Pacific.
