.SHORT TERM...Tonight through Friday night...Clear and mild
tonight into Thursday as the region remains under a sharp upper
ridge. An area of deep moisture will get drawn northward through
the Great Basin Thursday, edging into our region late Thur/Fri.
Initially it will result in increased cloud cover Thursday night
and Friday with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms
(10-15%) across SE Oregon (Harney and southern Malheur
counties) and the ID/NV border on Friday. Thursday will likely
be the hottest day with temperatures around 10 degrees above
normal as lower elevations reach the mid-upper 80s. Friday
remains warm, but cloud cover will take a couple of degrees off
Thursday`s heat
.LONG TERM...Saturday through Wednesday...Remains warm and
mostly dry on Saturday with low precipitation chances across SE
Oregon and the ID/NV border area, similar to Friday. A trough
enters the Pac NW on Sunday, and models have trended further
south and are presenting a stronger solution. The best chance of
precipitation remains across e-central Oregon and the w-central
ID mtns Sunday/Sunday night. Given the trend in the 12Z
deterministic solutions, wouldn`t be surprised if the numbers
increase in the ensemble solution across northern zones for
this period. The passing trough will take about 5 degrees off
temperatures for Sun/Mon, bringing them back closer to normal.
Good confidence in an upper ridge building into the area for
Tue/Wed with Tuesday showing a 20-35% chance of topping 90
degrees across the lower Snake Plain. Another trough could enter
the picture late Wednesday.
