NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PENDLETON OR
431 AM PDT WED JUN 15 2011

UPDATED FOR AVIATION DISCUSSION

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING...A BROAD UPPER TROUGH
WILL SWING DOWN AND ACROSS THE REGION BEGINNING TODAY AND CONTINUING
THROUGH THURSDAY. THIS WILL BRING A SHOT OF COOLER AIR ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA DURING THE NEXT TWO DAYS. MOISTURE WILL BE QUITE
LIMITED SINCE THIS TROUGH IS ORIGINATING MOSTLY OVER LAND AND THERE
IS NOT MUCH INSTABILITY WITH IT. AS SUCH THE ONLY LOCATIONS THAT MAY
SEE SOME LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS ARE THE NORTHEAST AND EASTERN MOUNTAINS
AS WELL AS THE HIGHER SLOPES OF THE CASCADE EAST SLOPES. THE MAIN
EFFECTS WILL BE THE COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES OF ABOUT 10
DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR LATE SPRING...AND BREEZY TO WINDY
CONDITIONS IN SOME AREAS. TEMPERATURES WILL BEGIN TO REBOUND ON
FRIDAY AS THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES TO THE EAST AND AN UPPER RIDGE
MAKES AN ATTEMPT TO BUILD INTO THE REGION FROM THE WEST. ANY WARM UP
THOUGH WILL BE SLOW...AND FRIDAY'S MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES WILL STILL
BE ABOUT 5 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. THERE WILL BE INCREASED AFTERNOON
AND EVENING INSTABILITY ON FRIDAY...AS WELL...WITH THE SLIGHTLY
WARMER TEMPERATURES. HOWEVER...THERE WILL BE TOO MUCH OF A LACK OF
MOISTURE TO WARRANT A MENTION OF ANY THUNDERSTORMS. 88

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE WILL SLIDE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA LATE FRIDAY NIGHT
INTO SATURDAY WITH SHOWERS AND COOLER TEMPERATURES LASTING THROUGH
SUNDAY.  MONDAY AND TUESDAY...MODELS ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT OF AN
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING INTO THE AREA WITH DRY WEATHER AND WARMER
TEMPERATURES. WEBER

&&

.AVIATION...12Z TAFS. VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL FOR THE NEXT 24
HOURS AT ALL TAF SITES. SKIES WILL BE MOSTLY CLEAR WITH HIGH CLOUDS.

WINDS AT KYKM AND KPSC. SURFACE WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 15-25 KTS AT
KDLS KPDT AND KPSC BY 15-18Z TODAY.
