Fire behavior should become less erratic before too long as temperatures cool and relative humidity climbs, but it may remain breezy through Thursday.

A red flag warning is in effect for that area from 11:00 to 21:00 today including the #TriCities.

Interesting clouds this morning southeast of the #TriCities. These are formed by the air being forced up by the ridge south of US 12 between Wallula and Walla Walla.
As the air moves northeastward and rises, it reaches the point where the temperature equals the dew point of the parcel, forming clouds downwind of the ridge.

A station near Badger Mountain in Richland recorded 13 mm of rain while one 8 km away recorded less than 1 mm and stations in Pasco didn’t record any rain.

Doesn’t help that in suburbia the sound travels much further, so when one dog starts barking others from a few streets over decide they need to join in.
Control your pets, people.

Looks like #Bellingham is seeing it this morning. Smoky haze is possible in places like #Seattle, #Portland, #Spokane, and the #TriCities late today and tomorrow.
The next #weather event comes in this weekend to change the wind pattern to drive smoke away and cool us down.
