Fire Weather Planning Forecast for NE Oregon and SE Washington
National Weather Service Pendleton OR
626 AM PDT Thu Jul 4 2024

...FIRE WEATHER WATCH IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
FRIDAY EVENING FOR WA690 FOR WIND AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY...


.DISCUSSION...An upper level ridge of high pressure will continue
to build just offshore, before gradually moving over the region
this weekend through next week. This will produce low afternoon
RHs, poor overnight recoveries, hot temperatures, and mostly light
and terrain driven winds through next week. That said, developing
breezy conditions combined with low RH Friday afternoon will
result in critical fire weather conditions in the Kittitas valley.

***Winds are 20 foot 10 minute averages***
***CWR-chance of wetting rain 0.10 or greater***
