I admit, I enjoy a good thunderstorm every now and then. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a good one. When I lived in Pensacola, Florida, a daily shower was the norm. Often, we’d see a lot of lightning and hear a lot of thunder.
Thunderstorms are possible for southeast WA and eastern OR Wednesday night
According to the National Weather Service in Pendleton, storms that form over central OR Wednesday night into Thursday morning will be mostly dry with lightning. A Fire Weather Watch for abundant lightning, is in effect from Wednesday evening through Thursday morning.
