Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pendleton OR 250 PM PDT Fri Jun 7 2019 .SHORT TERM...Tonight through Monday. A low pressure system over the pacific northwest will produce showers and isolated thunderstorms this evening before dissipating with the loss of daytime heating and the winds will decrease as well. Some showers may linger in an upslope flow tomorrow morning. Meanwhile a dry ridge of high pressure will build into the two state area this weekend and a warming trend is expected into next week. The below normal temperatures today will climb into the 80s by Monday. .LONG TERM...Monday night through Friday...The first half of the long term will be dominated by a strong ridge building over the West Coast. Expect dry conditions, light winds and increasing temps through Wednesday. Expect highs in the lower elevations from the 80s on Monday to the 90s on Wednesday (upper 90s in Lower Columbia Basin). Later in the week a combo of short wave features try to work into the region. The first, a weak disturbance trying to undercut the ridge Wednesday night into Thursday. This could spread a few showers and possibly some storms across central OR up into eastern OR/WA mountains, but overall extent will be limited due to lack of deeper moisture. The second, a short wave sliding down the west coast of Canada and likely phase with the initial wave and work into the northern Rockies Thursday night into Friday. The bulk of convection will stay east of the CWA, but can't rule out a few showers/storms across far eastern OR/WA. With the ridge weakening a bit, highs in lower elevations will trend down a few degrees Thursday (mid 80s to mid 90s) and again Friday (low 80s to low 90s). As the cooler air filters into the region there could be some breezy west winds both Thursday/Friday afternoon/evening. && .AVIATION...00Z TAFs...VFR conditions are expected through the TAF period. Cumulus buildups and scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms expected this afternoon and evening. Brief MVFR conditions possible under heavier showers. Expect a few thunderstorms at or near PDT, ALW and PSC through early evening. Showers should end after sundown and dry conditions expected thereafter. Breezy west to southwest winds 15-25g25-35kts this afternoon and early evening will slowly decrease overnight. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
