Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a restful weekend.
This week’s pattern features continued southwesterly flow aloft, which will pull mid-level moisture into southeastern Oregon and southwestern Idaho. This moisture will fuel scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms, primarily through Wednesday. Some storms may pack a punch, bringing hail, lightning, heavy downpours, and outflow gusts up to 50 mph. Find out what damaging winds are right here.
Heads up! A red flag warning has been issued from 3 pm-10 pm this evening for Eastern Oregon due to strong storm winds and lightning.
By Thursday, an approaching shortwave will further enhance storm activity, continuing the trend of stormy afternoons into the weekend.
Relief could be on the horizon: a potential trough moving in by the weekend may shift our flow pattern, ushering in a cooler and drier setup early next week.
While impacts won’t be widespread, it’s important to stay weather-aware. Download the Idaho News 6 app for timely alerts and updates!
And don’t forget—secure any loose outdoor items, as gusty winds could easily knock them down.
