The Horse Heaven Hills and the Rattlesnake Hills disappeared in the brown haze. Three branches broke off the west elm and roofing from other's house litters the yard along with many twigs next to the major limb breaks. I recorded a gust of 13.2 mph but was away from the gear during the day. Beaufort 8 is a good description of conditions here.

No rain was falling at 0701, but by 0740 when I got outside, it was raining with the 0.01 level. It did not appear that that much rain had fallen in that short amount of time, so I read that for the last 24 hrs and the rain that has fallen since will be on the reading for 5/6.

Most of them were the usual rough edged type, but one was a clearly formed funnel, appearing to extend from the ground to the cloud layer with a debris cloud extending up alongside the funnel. It was SE of a thunder storm which was moving roughly north to south off the Rattlesnake Hills into the Lower Yakima Valley. The cloud system did not show the usual marks of a tornado: no mammatus, wall cloud or shelf cloud. I pulled off the road and watched for about 10 minutes and the funnel dissolved as did the other formations.
