After a wild afternoon and evening around eastern Washington and Oregon, we are gearing up for more thunderstorms today. Expect the bulk of the lightning strikes to be confined to the higher elevations today.

The closer you live to the Cascades and Blue Mountains, the better chance you have to encounter afternoon thunderstorms. Remember heavy rain, large hail, and strong wind can all accompany these cells.

Onshore flow continues today west of the Cascades for calm weather. Low clouds will be the rule of thumb early on, followed by plenty of sun.

The same weather pattern continues tomorrow with the chance for thunderstorms east and morning low clouds west.
