.DISCUSSION...Limited concerns, except for low thunder chances
on Thursday in the eastern mountains. A brief window of light
rain tonight across the Cascades spilling into central OR before
dry conditions prevail tomorrow. Wetting rain highly likely in the
eastern mountains Thursday and overnight, including a risk of
isolated storms with infrequent lightning (20-30%). Warming and
drying trend persisting late this week through the weekend.
***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. ***
