...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT, THEN AGAIN THURSDAY AFTERNOON...
.Low pressure will move into the region late this afternoon and
overnight, providing sufficient trigger for thunderstorm
initiation. Isolated storms will initially start out over
portions of northern California later this afternoon, then move
northeastward and continue into the overnight hours. After a
relative lull early Thursday morning, another round of isolated
to scattered thunderstorms is expected across northern Klamath
and Lake Counties Thursday afternoon.
* 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 Zones 624 and 625 north of
Highway 140. This includes the Warner Peak Fire, though the
greatest coverage of storms is likely to be north and west of
the Warner Peak Fire.
* THUNDERSTORMS...Isolated to scattered thunderstorms this
evening and overnight with a relative lull in thunderstorm
activity expected early Thursday morning. Another round of
isolated to scattered thunderstorms is expected Thursday
afternoon and evening, with the greatest coverage expected
north of a line from Chiloquin to Paisley. Despite potential
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. These outflow winds can travel up to 50 miles
away from the thunderstorm that caused it.

Air Quality Alert issued August 14 at 1:06PM PDT by NWS Medford OR
Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has issued an Air
Pollution Advisory...in effect until at least 3 PM PDT Friday.
The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality issued an air quality
advisory for 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.

Air Quality Alert issued August 12 at 11:05AM PDT by NWS Medford OR
Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has issued an Air
Pollution Advisory...in effect until at least 5 PM PDT Wednesday.
The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality issued an air quality
advisory for Lake, Klamath, eastern Douglas, and northern Jackson
counties due to wildfires burning in the region. The DEQ also expects
intermittent smoke in southern 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.
