Red Flag Warning issued August 17 at 2:27AM PDT until August 17 at 11:00PM PDT by NWS Pendleton OR
...STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL IMPACT THE CASCADE
MOUNTAINS TODAY, EXTENDING TO THE EASTERN SLOPES, WHILE
SOUTHEASTERN OREGON SEES DRY, WINDY, AND UNSTABLE CONDITIONS...
.A potent weather system will bring a myriad of impacts to the
forecast area today. For the Cascade Mountains and east slopes,
strong to severe thunderstorms will trek across primarily the
spine of the Cascades starting in the afternoon down around
central Oregon, advancing northward into the Washington Cascades
by the evening. While storms along the Cascades are expected to be
accompanied by a significant wetting rain, isolated to scattered
storms extending into the east slopes and portions of the Columbia
Basin will be much drier, leading to critical fire weather
conditions due to abundant lightning with a lack of wetting rain.
For southeastern Oregon, this same weather system will usher in
hot and dry desert air, leading to breezy winds combined with low
RHs and locally unstable conditions. Showers and storms are not
anticipated to track as far east as southeastern Oregon.
Users should note that OR641 and WA691 are under partial Red Flag
Warnings. The Warned zones include only the western half of each
zone, and not the entirety of the zone.
The National Weather Service in Pendleton has issued a Red Flag
Warning for abundant lightning, which is in effect from 2 PM this
afternoon to 11 PM PDT this evening. The Fire Weather Watch is no
longer in effect.
* AFFECTED AREA...Portions of Fire Weather Zone 641 Lower Columbia
Basin of Oregon. The easternmost extent of the Warning ends at
a line extending from Boardman to Ione.
* IMPACTS...Thunderstorms will be capable of producing frequent
cloud-to-ground lightning and erratic, gusty outflow winds.
This combination will promote conditions conducive to new fire
starts and rapid fire spread for new and existing fires.
* THUNDERSTORMS...Abundant lightning with frequent cloud-to-
ground lightning strikes.
* OUTFLOW WINDS...Gusty winds up to 50 mph.

Air Quality Alert issued August 16 at 12:16PM PDT by NWS Medford OR
Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has issued an Air
Quality Advisory...in effect until noon PDT Monday.
This air quality advisory covers Lake and northern Klamath counties
due to wildfires burning in the region. The DEQ also expects
intermittent smoke in eastern Douglas and Jackson County through this
period due to smoke from surrounding fires.
The wildfire smoke combined with forecast conditions will cause air
quality levels to fluctuate and could be at unhealthy levels.
Smoke levels can change rapidly depending on the weather and planned
burn operations. Smoke can irritate the eyes and lungs and worsen
some medical conditions. People most at risk include infants and
young children, people with heart or lung disease, older adults and
pregnant people.
People can take the following precautions to protect their health:
- Follow local burn restrictions to prevent deteriorating air
quality.
- Avoid strenuous outdoor activity during periods of poor air quality.
- People with heart or lung problems and young children are
especially vulnerable. These people should stay indoors while smoke
levels are high.
- Use certified High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters in
indoor heating, ventilation, cooling and air purification systems.
- Avoid using wood-burning stoves and other sources of indoor smoke
if possible.

Fire Weather Watch issued August 16 at 2:51AM PDT until August 17 at 8:00PM PDT by NWS Pendleton OR
...HOT, DRY, WINDY, AND POTENTIALLY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS EXPECTED
FOR SOUTHEASTERN OREGON ON SATURDAY...
.A robust low pressure system centered off the coast of the
Pacific Northwest will orient the winds aloft more southerly,
pushing in a hot and dry airmass into southern Oregon. Relative
humidities will drop significantly as a result on Saturday. This,
combined with the low pressure system amplifying the wind speeds,
will potentially lead to critical fire weather conditions across
much of southeastern Oregon. Unstable conditions are possible as
well, with values of 5 and locally 6 possible during the day
Saturday.
The National Weather Service in Pendleton has issued a Fire
Weather Watch for wind and low relative humidity, which is in
effect from Saturday afternoon through Saturday evening.
* AFFECTED AREA...Fire Weather Zone 642 Southern Blue and
Strawberry Mountains.
* WINDS...South 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph.
* RELATIVE HUMIDITY...As low as 8 percent.
* IMPACTS...Gusty winds with dry conditions may lead to rapid fire
spread. Unstable conditions may promote extreme fire behavior as
well.

THURSDAY IN OREGON ZONES 611, 640, and 642...
...SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS STORMS THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING
ACROSS OREGON ZONES 644 and 645...
.Satellite and radar imagery currently show shower activity
across central Oregon. Lightning strikes across the warned areas
have thus far been limited, but weather models do continue to
show a potential for thunderstorm activity for the warned areas,
particularly across the eastern mountains of Oregon, with a
potential flare-up in storm activity occurring Thursday
afternoon. While wet storms are still in the forecast, fuels are
receptive enough to warrant a Red Flag Warning, with lightning
strikes still leading to new fire starts even under a wetting
rain.
* AFFECTED AREA...Fire Weather Zones 644 Central Blue Mountains
and 645 Wallowa District.
* IMPACTS...Thunderstorms will be capable of producing frequent
cloud-to-ground lightning and erratic, gusty outflow winds.
This combination will promote conditions conducive to new fire
starts and rapid fire spread for new and existing fires.
* THUNDERSTORMS...Abundant lightning with frequent cloud-to-
ground lightning strikes.
* OUTFLOW WINDS...Gusty winds up to 40 mph.
