ZONES OR693 AND WA693...
.DISCUSSION...An upper weather system impacting the region
today will bring the threat of thunderstorms capable of abundant
lightning across WA Cascade crest, northern Blues, and Wallowa
county. In most non-mountain zones, breezy winds will overlap
with critically low relative humidity this afternoon, resulting
in critical fire weather concerns. Multiple Red Flag Warnings
are in effect for abundant lightning and for the wind/RH
threats. RHs will improve slightly and winds weaken Sunday,
though elevated fire weather concerns will remain.
***Winds are 20 foot 10 minute averages ***
***CWR: Chance of wetting rain 0.10 or greater ***
***Ventilation Index is derived from transport wind
multiplied by the mixing height in 100`s of ft.
Categories are a generalized indicator and users
are encourage to develop criteria that are
suitable and representative of dispersion
conditions in their local area of interest.
Categories: low (< 200), moderate (200-500),
high (500-700), and very high (> 700).
-Note: Max transport winds may not occur
at the same time as max mixing height. ***
