NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PENDLETON OR
230 AM PDT TUE JUN 3 2014

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY. A COMPLEX UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
OVER THE WESTERN U.S. HAS SEVERAL EMBEDDED WAVES ASSOCIATED WITH
IT.  ONE WAVE TRACKED ACROSS WASHINGTON STATE AND BROUGHT SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA MONDAY EVENING.  THIS
WAVE HAS MOVED INTO NORTHERN IDAHO...AND ONLY A FEW SHOWERS REMAIN
NEAR THE SPOKANE AREA.  THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL GRADUALLY MAKES
ITS WAY ACROSS WA/OR TODAY.  THERE ARE NO ORGANIZED WAVES ASSOCIATED
WITH IT...BUT THE AIR MASS IS SLIGHTLY UNSTABLE OVER NE OREGON AND
SE WASHINGTON.  THEREFORE...THERE COULD BE ISOLATED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS LATER IN THE AFTERNOON.  THE MAIN WEATHER CONCERN
TODAY WILL BE INCREASING WINDS.  A MARINE INTRUSION THROUGH THE
CASCADE GAPS AND THE COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE WILL RESULT IN 15-25 MPH
OVER MOST OF THE COLUMBIA BASIN AND SURROUNDING VALLEYS. FORECAST
SOUNDINGS INDICATED A MARINE DEPTH OF AROUND 5500 FEET LATE THIS
AFTERNOON WEST OF THE CASCADES WHICH IS DEEP ENOUGH TO SPILL THROUGH
THE WASHINGTON CASCADE PASSES. WINDS SUSTAINED AT 25-35 MPH ARE
EXPECTED IN THE KITTITAS VALLEY AND PORTIONS OF THE EASTERN COLUMBIA
RIVER GORGE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AND A WIND ADVISORY WILL BE
ISSUED FOR THESE AREAS IN THE NEXT FORECAST PACKAGE.  WILL ALSO ADD
PATCHY BLOWING DUST TO THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE LOWER COLUMBIA
BASIN AND THE OREGON BLUE MTN FOOTHILLS.

NO MAJOR WEATHER CONCERNS ARE ANTICIPATED THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT
TERM PERIOD.  THE FORECAST AREA WILL REMAIN UNDER A DRY W-NW FLOW
ALOFT.  A SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER BRITISH COLUMBIA LATE WEDNESDAY WILL
HAVE LITTLE EFFECT EXCEPT TO PROVIDE LOCALLY BREEZY/WINDY
CONDITIONS...MAINLY IN THE KITTITAS VALLEY AS WELL AS A 2-3 DEGREE
DECREASE IN AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY.  WISTER

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY.  WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW
WILL BE SEEN THROUGH MUCH OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD WITH DRY CONDITIONS
AND SEASONAL TEMPERATURES.  BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF MODELS BRING SOME
WEAK DISTURBANCES THROUGH THE REGION AT TIMES, BUT WITH LITTLE
MOISTURE TO WORK WITH THEY SHOULD ONLY PRODUCE CLOUDS.  THE MODELS
DO DIVERGE BY LATE SUNDAY AS THE GFS WANTS TO MOVE A LOW PRESSURE
AREA SOUTHEAST ACROSS WASHINGTON WHILE THE ECMWF MAINTAIN A
NORTHWEST FLOW. THE MODEL KEEPS THE MOISTURE WITH THIS FEATURE NORTH
OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH THE MAINLY EFFECT EXPECTED TO BE SOME
STRONGER WINDS.  93

&&

.AVIATION...12Z TAFS. VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL OVER THE NEXT 24
HOURS. SCT-BKN 080-100 FT WILL BE CLEARING THROUGH THE MORNING AS A
LOW PRESSURE AREA MOVES EAST. SKIES WILL BE MOSTLY CLEAR THROUGH THE
REST OF THE DAY WITH SOME CUMULUS BUILD UPS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NORTHEAST OREGON MOUNTAINS AFTER 21Z.  WEST
TO NORTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE AT ALL TAF SITES THROUGH THE
MORNING WITH SPEEDS 15 TO 20KTS WITH GUSTS TO 25KT...EXCEPT 30 KTS
