.DISCUSSION...A cold front is sweeping across eastern Washington
and eastern Oregon at this time, providing gusty winds and areas
of light precipitation. The fast moving front will give little
opportunity for any appreciable rainfall. Gusty winds and low RHs
were observed in south central and southeast Oregon, but the RHs
are increasing. Winds will diminish later this evening, and winds
will be relatively light this weekend. Dry and seasonably warm
conditions can be expected.
