Marginal risk of severe weather for the cities of Eugene and Medford in central parts of Oregon with the potential for large hail and damaging winds.   On Friday that Marginal risk will move east into Burns, Baker City and Boise.  A similar risk will be possible on Friday with a threat of large hail and damaging winds.  We can't completely rule out an isolated tornado, but hail and winds will be the highest weather risk.   Keep it tuned to WeatherNation for more updates on what is happening in the Northwest.   Meteorologist Patrick Crawford
