Red Flag Warning issued July 1 at 2:23PM PDT until July 2 at 9:00PM PDT by NWS Pendleton OR
...DRY THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED FOR CENTRAL OREGON TODAY, FOLLOWED
BY DRY AND WINDY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE COLUMBIA BASIN AND THROUGH
THE KITTITAS VALLEY WEDNESDAY...
.A ridge of high pressure overhead is inducing hot and dry
conditions across the region. Dry thunderstorms have already
initiated this afternoon across central Oregon. The ridge of high
pressure is anticipated to break down further on Wednesday, with
west winds picking up through the Cascade gaps. With RHs having
little time to recover from the heat, this will lead to critical
fire weather conditions across the Kittitas Valley and into the
Columbia Basin.
The National Weather Service in Pendleton has issued a Red Flag
Warning for wind and low relative humidity, which is in effect
from 2 PM to 9 PM PDT Wednesday. The Fire Weather Watch is no
longer in effect.
* AFFECTED AREA...Fire Weather Zone 691 Lower Columbia Basin of
Washington.
* TIMING...From 2 PM to 9 PM PDT Wednesday.
* IMPACTS...Any fire that develops will catch and spread
quickly. Outdoor burning is not recommended.
* WINDS...West 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph.
* RELATIVE HUMIDITY...As low as 10 percent.
A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions
are either occurring now, or will shortly. A combination of
strong winds, low relative humidity, and warm temperatures can
contribute to extreme fire behavior.
