...UNSTABLE CONDITIONS CONTINUE, WITH THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ONCE AGAIN TONIGHT AND SUNDAY... .Unstable conditions will persist once again today, before an oncoming weather system shifts the threat from instability to that of thunderstorms. Clearing has been observed across central Oregon, and with that, scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop this evening. Storms are expected to develop over the eastern mountains tomorrow afternoon as well, however forecast confidence remains on the lower end, so will hold off on upgrading the watch there for now. * AFFECTED AREA...Fire Weather Zones 643 Northern Blue Mountains of Oregon, 644 Central Blue Mountains, 645 Wallowa District and 693 Southeast Washington Grande Ronde Valley. * IMPACTS...New fire starts and rapid fire spread due to outflow winds. * THUNDERSTORMS...Scattered thunderstorms producing abundant lightning and gusty outflow winds. Most storms will be accompanied by light rain. * OUTFLOW WINDS...Outflow winds are always possible with storms, and these storms will be capable of 30 to 40 mph wind gusts.
