798 FNUS56 KPDT 031416 FWFPDT Fire Weather Planning Forecast for NE Oregon and SE Washington National Weather Service Pendleton OR 716 AM PDT Thu Jul 3 2025 .DISCUSSION...Locally breezy conditions coupled with low relative humidity in the Columbia Gorge and Basin today. Slight chance of thunderstorms for southern portions of the Blue Mountains and central Oregon late this afternoon. Shower and thunderstorm chances will spread northward tonight into Friday; some uncertainty remains regarding nocturnal thunderstorms over the Columbia Basin, but confidence is increasing in lightning. Storms are expected to be mostly wet tonight and Friday, while some will be dry this afternoon. ***Thunderstorms imply strong gusty winds*** ***Winds are 20 foot 10 minute averages*** ***CWR-chance of wetting rain 0.10 or greater*** ***Ventilation Index is derived from the transport wind multiplied by the mixing height in 100`s of feet. Index 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.*** Note: Max transport winds may not occur at the same time as max mixing height.
