It's been sometime since I've updated this blog... I've promised my boss I would try to do this on a regular basis... It's been a roller coaster week weather wise and it's only Wednesday! Anybody not believe in global warming ? Good news is for the rest of the week we should have temperatures much cooler. No more triple digits at least not this week. Highs will stay in the low 80's that's still above normal but much more comfortable.

For the rest of week weather issues will be east of the Cascades. Temperatures will remain hot, 90's and some 100's. Moisture has started to move in from the south.

Looking at the visible satellite map you can see a band of clouds moving north into parts of Central and Eastern Oregon. I think thunderstorms will be popping by the middle of the afternoon. Most of the storms will be high based, in other words lots of lightning and thunder. Very little rain if any will hit the ground. Wild fires may become an issue by Thursday. I know that NWS has issue a fire watch warning for the eastside beginning Wednesday afternoon. Oh joy I think were about to go from the frying pan into the fire. Everybody get set to watch Pat Dorris and John Becker wearing there yellow Nomex shirts report from the fire lines. Rumor has it they get a good card game going with crews from other stations. I'll let you know who wins.

I'll update soon
