Working this Thanksgiving, but feeling grateful for the opportunity to serve and connect. Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving filled with gratitude, love, and good food! 🦃🍂 #Thanksgiving2024

[NWS Pendleton @NWSPendleton]

Here at NWS Pendleton we are thankful for the privilege of serving all of the communities in our area. Wishing warm tidings from us to you through the Holidays, and hoping for you the best.

[NWS Pendleton @NWSPendleton]

A Freezing Fog Advisory is in effect due to freezing fog restricting visibility to less than a quarter mile, and creating slick surfaces. The main areas of concern are from Yakima to the Lower Columbia Basin. #wawx

[NWS Pendleton @NWSPendleton]

Guidance hints at two main forecast scenarios over the Thanksgiving holiday. The frontrunner (70%) suggests an incoming ridge of high pressure which would lead to warmer, drier conditions in the mountains with cooler and cloudier conditions across the Columbia Basin. #wawx #orwx
