ODHH is SHARING SITUATIONAL AWARENESS

Severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of the Pacific Northwest on Wednesday afternoon and evening. The National Weather Service (NWS) forecasts that the air mass above western Washington will remain moist and unstable, leading to the potential for thunderstorms, hail, wind, cloud-to-ground lightning and periods of heavy rainfall. There is a "marginal risk" of severe weather across the region, with a chance for isolated, severe storms. The NSW calls for a 2% chance of tornado activity. Check your local forecast for more detailed information.
