15 Yakima, WA – Lessons Learned
Classic case of cold air damming due to pressure falls on the west side of the Cascades inducing a light easterly flow from the interior of Washington and Oregon. The shape of the valleys makes a huge difference in the damming. Dry enough air present to allow evaporational cooling – models only do okay in this case.

16 The Dalles, OR

17 The Dalles The Dalles ( /ˈdælz/) is the largest city and county seat of Wasco County, Oregon, United States. The name of the city comes from the French word dalle (meaning either "sluice" or "flagstone" and referring to the columnar basalt rocks carved by the river,[2][3] what the French-Canadian employees of the North West Company called the now-inundated rapids of the Columbia River between the present-day city and Celilo Falls. The population was 12,156 at the 2000 census and was estimated at 12,314 in 2009.
