Today's weather summary -
Today is going to be a repeat on yesterday. Abundant sunshine will be seen over all inland areas. There is and will be low clouds over the coastal areas. Seeing some reports of fog there too. The fog should go away. The low clouds however may not. Low clouds have also developed well inland and cover the Willamette Valley portions of the forecast area. The low clouds there will burn off. Smoke is not going to be an issue in the Rogueweather forecast zone again today. But, in Crook and Jefferson Counties in central Oregon....as well as all portions of eastern Oregon it will be. And, if you are headed to Boise and other areas of southern Idaho, air qualities remain severely degraded. Seeing many reporting stations in southern Idaho reporting unhealthy to hazardous air quality again this morning.
Temps today will remain at seasonal averages in inland areas. The coastal areas will continue to see 50s and 60s. How long low clouds persist will determine where highs wind up. Look to see near 80 to the low 80s, in Benton, Lane, and Linn Counties. Mid 80s to the low 90s in Douglas, Jackson, Josephine, and western Siskiyou Counties. Near 80 to near 90 in areas east of the Cascades. Lows tonight will near 50 to the upper 50s in all areas west of the Cascades.....and near 40 to near 50 generally east of the Cascades. Except, low to mid 50s in the Klamath Falls area, and over in the Paisley and Lakeview areas in Lake County
While we do not have any Red Flag Warnings in the region.....ongoing dry conditions as well as afternoon and evening gusty winds are going to continue. We will be just under Red Flag Warning thresholds. So, concerns about conditions that could promote rapid growth in new, or existing fires is still there. And, you absolutely should do whatever you can to prevent a spark that could turn into our next major fire.
