Scroll below to see pictures from yesterday's "tornadoes," (wink) also read "SEVERE WEATHER" section below.

• Today-Friday: Expect 0.75-1.25" total rainfall from rain/showers
• Breezy at times with 20-30 mph wind gusts possible (today-Friday)
• Very small chance of just a regular typical Oregon thunderstorm
• Saturday looks dry but can't rule out an isolated light shower afternoon
• Sunday morning mainly dry then light showers afternoon through Monday
• Lingering shower or two Tuesday then uncertainties Wed-Fri
• NO concerns for "SEVERE" weather / "tornadoes" next 10-days!

SEVERE WEATHER YESTERDAY (Wednesday):

• As what was stressed in posts here, such was unlikely and the threat ridiculously small.
• THERE WERE NO SEVERE WEATHER REPORTS anywhere in Oregon yesterday! Not one single "severe" thunderstorm, no large hail, no strong winds over 57 mph, no funnel clouds, and certainly no tornadoes. In Washington, lightning struck two houses and one shed (see NWS Seattle's "Preliminary Local Storm Report" below).
• Across the state, there were about 7-10 non-severe, regular thunderstorms.
• The Storm Prediction Center did issue a "Severe Thunderstorm Watch" from 3:10pm-9:00pm from about Harrisburg northward to around Tacoma, WA but no severe thunderstorms occurred.
• Yesterday was unnecessarily hyped up (not in this group) and scared a lot of people. Yes, conditions could have become favorable for isolated severe thunderstorms and a supercell. As an expert, I saw atmospheric obstacles in place that prevented severe weather and think my colleagues didn't take such into consideration. If we were in the middle part of the country, then yes, a severe weather outbreak would have been likely. But even in "tornado alley," severe thunderstorm watches often have "bust" days where nothing occurs.
