...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THIS EVENING... .Isolated to scattered thunderstorms could develop and will move northeastward this evening across northern Klamath and Lake Counties. Strong southerly flow ahead of a low returns this weekend and a Fire Weather Watch has been issued for Saturday because of gusty winds and low RH. Some strong storms may also develop along and west of the Cascades. * IMPACTS...Abundant lightning on dry fuels will increase the risk of new fire starts. Additionally, gusty outflow winds will allow for new and existing fires to grow rapidly. * AFFECTED AREA...Most of Oregon Fire Zone 624 north of Highway 140. * THUNDERSTORMS...Another round of isolated to scattered thunderstorms is expected this evening, with the greatest coverage expected north of a line from Chiloquin to Paisley. Despite rain with these thunderstorms, lightning strikes outside of precipitation cores are possible and cause for concern. * OUTFLOW WINDS...Quickly shifting winds with outflow gusts up to 40 to 50 mph.

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.
