NOAA Current Watches-OR

...ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM THREAT SHIFTS NORTH FOR THE REST OF THE DAY... A low pressure system remains situated over the forecast area, creating a wide swath of showers stretching from the Columbia River Gorge all the way through the eastern mountains of Oregon as of this morning. The current forecast calls for a resurgence of thunderstorm activity once daytime heating initiates and instability builds, primarily for the Oregon Columbia Basin northward. The storm threat is expected to last into the evening hours. Dry weather is expected for the previously warned zones across central Oregon for the rest of the day. * AFFECTED AREA...Fire Weather Zones 641 Lower Columbia Basin of Oregon, 690 Kittitas Valley, 691 Lower Columbia Basin, 694 Yakama Alpine District and 695 East Washington South Central Cascade Mountains. * THUNDERSTORMS...Isolated thunderstorms. Lightning activity level of 2 to 3. * OUTFLOW WINDS...35 to 45 mph. Thunderstorm outflow winds may result in erratic fire spread. * IMPACTS...Any lightning strikes combined with hot and dry conditions could cause new fire starts.
