...DRY THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED FOR CENTRAL OREGON TUESDAY, FOLLOWED
BY DRY AND WINDY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE KITTITAS VALLEY AND
WASHINGTON BASIN WEDNESDAY...

.The high pressure currently leading to hot and dry conditions
will start to break down Tuesday into Wednesday, allowing for dry
thunderstorms to develop across central Oregon. Once high pressure
has completely broken down on Wednesday, winds will pick up. With
RHs having little time to recover from Monday and Tuesday's heat,
this will lead to potentially critical fire weather conditions
across the Kittitas Valley and into the Washington Columbia Basin.

The National Weather Service in Pendleton has issued a Fire
Weather Watch for wind and low relative humidity, which is in
effect from Wednesday afternoon through Wednesday evening.

* AFFECTED AREA...Fire Weather Zones 690 Kittitas Valley and 691
Lower Columbia Basin of Washington.

* TIMING...From Wednesday afternoon through Wednesday evening.

* IMPACTS...Any fire that develops will catch and spread
quickly. Outdoor burning is not recommended.

* WINDS...For the Kittitas Valley, northwest winds 20 to 30 mph
with gusts up to 40 mph. For the Lower Columbia Basin of
Washington, west-northwest winds 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to
30 mph.

* RELATIVE HUMIDITY...As low as 15 percent.

A Fire Weather Watch means that critical fire weather conditions
are forecast to occur. Listen for later forecasts and possible
Red Flag Warnings.
