LONG TERM...Wednesday through Sunday

The CA low will likely still be in play over the area on Wednesday. Models favor tracking the low center through Oregon, which would favor SE Oregon and far SW Idaho for a continued chance of showers and thunderstorms. From there we'll be looking for a potential breakdown of the upper ridge late in the week into next weekend. While there are differences in how it evolves, both the GFS and ECMWF show a break in the heat and increased chances of rain unfolding by the weekend. These solutions lineup with the ensemble consensus which has temperatures returning to near normal and a broad 20-30% chance of showers/storms starting on Saturday. Interestingly the operational Canadian model keeps the ridge and summer heat in place through the period.

AVIATION

Generally VFR. Smoke layers through about 20kft MSL will reduce visibility. A 10% chance of showers/thunderstorms Sunday afternoon across Harney County (KBNO) into mtns west of KBKE.
