Showers Spread Across Region on Friday with Breezy Winds and Cooler Temperatures

Tonight through Friday:

• Tonight : A deep weather system near Vancouver Island is bringing mid-to- upper-level clouds across western and central Washington and northwest Oregon. Clouds will continue to build, especially over the mountains. Lows in the 50s and 60s

Thursday : The low-pressure system will move south, setting up near the Oregon coast. Rain will mostly fall along the Cascade Mountains and nearby slopes. Isolated thunderstorms may develop along the Cascades due to increased instability. In eastern Oregon, dry and warm air will move in, bringing elevated fire weather conditions, though no Red Flag Warnings are expected.

Friday : The low-pressure system will move further inland, spreading showers across the region. The eastern mountains and parts of central Washington will have a slight chance of isolated thunderstorms. There’s a 30-60% chance of showers in the lower elevations and a 50-85% chance in the mountains. Breezy winds will develop through the Cascade gaps and into the Columbia Basin, with cooler-than-normal temperatures expected. Highs will range from the 60s to 70s in the lower elevations.
