NWS EXTENDED FORECAST FOR RUFUS 

EXPAND AND READ ABOVE …THEY ARE ON IT

FROM NWS PENDLETON

SHORT TERM...Today through Friday morning...Current satellite and
radar depict clear weather conditions for the area, with a few
high clouds over the Tri-Cities and to the area just north of it.
Not anticipating this dry pattern to change for the next couple
of days. Our only chance (45-65% chance) of some precip in the
short term will be in the Central WA Cascade region Wed AM through
the afternoon, as a cut-off low just off the Gulf of Alaska moves
into the PacNW. As that system makes its way into the region, both
pressure gradient and temperature gradient will become more
compact, causing GUSTY WINDS across the Cascade gaps and near the
Kittitas Valley. NBM advertises 55-65% chances, with some very
locally >85% spots, of wind advisory criteria gusts. Not enough
confidence to show this will come into fruition and/or spread
through enough coverage area to warrant an advisory at this time.
Will continue to monitor as winds will be BREEZY TO LOCALLY WINDY  THROUGHOUT THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS….

HEADS UP FOR WIND
