WeatherPLUS Forecast
    Hi 87 F
Lo 50 F
 

Ready or not, here comes Summer (for a few days).  The weather pattern has changed from cool and cloudy to clear and hot.  We will likely break records this weekend for high temperatures.

Today - Most everyone will be in the 80's with plenty of sunshine.  The highest temperatures will be near the Tri-Cities area, where we will reach the upper 80's.  The Yakima Valley and Central Oregon areas will be in the mid 80's.

Tomorrow - Temperatures will jump to the 90's with clear skies.  The Tri-Cities forecasted temperature is 95.  The record is 93, set back in 2006 for May 16th.

Saturday - This will be the hottest day of the week.  Most everyone will be flirting with record heat.  Temperatures will be in the mid to upper 90's.  There is a slight chance in seeing triple digits.

Starting Monday we will slowly cool back down into the 80's and eventually the 70's.

Suggested items to keep handy the next few days:

Sunscreen

Sunglasses

Water Bottles

Fans

Plane ticket to Alaska

 

Enjoy,

Jordan Youngs

Mother Nature gives us a Mothers' Day gift
E. Wash./N. Idaho - We got a little gift from Mother Nature Sunday morning as we saw cooler sunnier weather. A cold front just raced across the area taking alot of the rain with it.
Gray but mostly dry, for now
E. E. Wash./N. Idaho - Saturday will be a shade on the cloudy side, but these aren't quite rain-making clouds yet, so people hanging outside should stay dry.
