...ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THIS EVENING, MAINLY BLUE
MOUNTAINS...
.DISCUSSION...Isolated thunderstorms are expected to continue
through this evening, mainly over the Blue Mountains. There is a
very low chance (15% or less) of additional high-based showers
over the Blue Mountains and eastern half of the Columbia Basin
overnight into early Friday. Breezy to windy conditions will
persist through the Columbia Gorge and into the Basin through
early Friday, but RH should remain above critical values. Warm,
dry conditions are then forecast Friday 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. ***
