Pendleton, OR — Eastern Oregon residents should prepare for a mix of rain and isolated thunderstorms through Tuesday, particularly in mountainous areas. Weather systems are moving across the region, bringing showers and storm chances to the Cascades. The National Weather Service has advised residents in far eastern Oregon to be vigilant, with storm activity likely to increase later today and into Tuesday.
