Weather Discussion
...Hot today with isolated to scattered thunderstorms,
especially this afternoon and evening. The focus areas will be in
the Cascades, but also the foothills of eastern Douglas and
Jackson Counties and over the east side in Oregon. Isolated
thunderstorms could also impact the west side valleys and the
Warner Mountains in NE California. Drier weather is expected
Thursday into this weekend. Enhanced east side southwest to west
winds are possible both afternoons and evenings Friday and
Saturday. These winds could overlap with very low humidity
resulting in critical fire weather conditions there.
