SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...COLD, DRY AIR CONTINUES TO FILTER INTO THE INTERIOR NORTHWEST THIS AFTERNOON, AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO THIS EVENING. A FEW CLOUDS CONTINUE TO BE BANKED UP ON THE NORTH SLOPES OF THE OCHOCO MOUNTAINS, THE HIGHER TERRAIN NEAR BEND AND OVER WALLOWA COUNTY. THESE CLOUDS WILL DISSIPATE THIS EVENING AS THE AIR MASS CONTINUES TO DRY. BREEZY NORTH AND NORTHEAST WINDS WILL PERSIST INTO THE EVENING, THEN GRADUALLY DECREASE OVERNIGHT. OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPS WILL BE COLD DUE TO THE DRYNESS OF THE AIR AND THE CLEAR SKIES. A FEW LOCATIONS MAY NOT BE AS COOL AS THEY COULD BE IF THE WINDS ARE A BIT STRONGER THAN EXPECTED. DO NOT EXPECT ANY FOG DEVELOPMENT TONIGHT DUE TO THE DRYNESS OF THE AIR MASS AND SOME CONTINUED TURBULENT MIXING. THE REGION WILL CONTINUE UNDER A DRY NORTHERLY FLOW WEDNESDAY. WINDS WILL CONTINUE MAINLY NORTHERLY 5-15 MPH. SKIES WILL BE FAIR, THOUGH SOME INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER IS EXPECTED OVER CENTRAL OREGON IN THE AFTERNOON. HIGH TEMPS WEDNESDAY WILL BE AROUND 20 DEGREES COOLER THAN SEASONAL. A PACIFIC SYSTEM WILL SPREAD INCREASING AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE OVER THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT. EXPECT LIGHT SNOW TO MOVE INTO CENTRAL OREGON LATE WEDNESDAY EVENING WITH SNOW INTENSITIES INCREASING OVERNIGHT. THE LIGHT SNOW WILL SPREAD INTO NORTH-CENTRAL OREGON AND EAST TO GRANT COUNTY OVERNIGHT.
