Weather Right Now Forecast

Updated: Friday, November 20th -- 5 A.M.

Another day, another storm moving into the Northwest.

This morning we are watching a storm system move into western Washington.  Ahead of the storm we are seeing cloudy skies and windy conditions.  The National Weather Service has issued a *Wind Advisory* for the foothills of the Blue Mountains.  This includes Pendleton and Walla Walla.  We have already observed wind gusts here between 30-40 mph.  The advisory is set to expire at noon.

Count on breezy conditions for everyone else today with the hit and miss showers rolling through once again this morning and afternoon.  High temperatures will be on the mild side, in the low to mid 50's. 

Elevations above 2,000 feet in the Cascades can plan on snow today and you have to go above 4,000 feet to see that in the Blue Mountains.

Tomorrow looks dry as we wait for the next storm to roll in.  Late Saturday night looks interesting.  Precipitation will move across the mountains and places in the Kittitas and Yakima Valleys could be cold enough to produce brief snow overnight.  Accumulations look light if anything at this point.

A few lingering showers will be around Sunday before we dry out into the afternoon.

Random Fact of the Day:  Canada has more lakes than all other countries combined!
