THESE ARE FORMING AHEAD OF COOL FRONT THAT IS STALLING OVER THE BLUE MOUNTAINS. THIS WILL ALLOW MOISTURE TO LINGER OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTHEAST OREGON FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. UPPER TROUGH REMAINS ALONG THE WEST COAST WITH SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER THE OREGON PORTION OF FORECAST AREA. THIS SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL ALLOW SEVERAL DISTURBANCE TO MOVE OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND INTERACT WITH MOISTURE AND DAYTIME HEAT TO PRODUCE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH TUESDAY. ON WEDNESDAY...A WEAK SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE NORTHEAST OVER THE REGION AND BRING ANOTHER PUSH OF MOISTURE...BUT IT APPEARS VERY LIMITED.
