NORTHEAST OREGON/SOUTHEAST WASHINGTON FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PENDLETON OR
830 AM PST FRI APR 2 1999

HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD PROVIDE A DRY AND LITTLE WARMER DAY TODAY
ACROSS THE REGION.  MAIN CONCERN IS THE WEATHER SYSTEM APPROACHING
SOUTHWEST BRITISH COLUMBIA.  THIS SYSTEM HAS STARTED TO DIG
SOUTHEASTWARD WITH THE MODELS ALREADY LOOKING BEHIND ON THE TRACK
AND AMOUNT OF DIGGING.  THIS DIGGING COULD RESULT IN TWO DIFFERENT
FORECASTS.  1...THE SYSTEM MAY DIG FURTHER WEST AND HAVE LESSER
IMPACT ON THE REGION THAN EARLIER THOUGHT.  OR 2...THIS SYSTEM MAY
IMPACT THE REGION EARLIER THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST WITH SOME
PRECIPITATION BY LATE TONIGHT.  WILL TAKE A MORE THOROUGH AND
CAREFUL LOOK BEFORE JUMPING TO ANY CONCLUSIONS AND FORECAST
UPDATES.  NO CHANGES TO FORECAST AT THIS TIME.  BAUCK
