Heads up Pine Eagle friends.

Severe thunderstorm with 70mph winds and ping pong ball size hail moving very close to Richland and Halfway from the southeast.

Severe storms are likely across parts of the Pacific Northwest Thursday afternoon and evening, especially across southern Washington and Oregon. The setup features an upper-level low over central California and a strengthening surface low moving from eastern Oregon into southern Washington which will help storms develop, organize and intensify. Storms are expected to first develop across southern Oregon around midday before expanding northward through the afternoon. Storms may organize into a larger line of thunderstorms moving northwest across much of Oregon late Thursday and into southern Washington Thursday evening, with a more isolated severe risk reaching parts of central and northern Washington Thursday night. The atmosphere will become increasingly unstable with enough wind shear to support all modes of severe weather -damaging wind gusts and large hail will be the primary risks but there is also a low-end tornado risk, especially near the surface low where wind shear will be strongest. Any tornadoes that form will likely be brief and embedded within rotating segments of the line
