...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 2 PM THIS AFTERNOON TO 9 PM
PDT THIS EVENING FOR FIRE WEATHER ZONE WA690 DUE TO WIND AND LOW
RELATIVE HUMIDITY...
...FIRE WEATHER WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
SATURDAY EVENING FOR FIRE WEATHER ZONES OR610, OR611, and OR640
DUE TO WIND AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY...
.DISCUSSION...An upper level ridge of high pressure will continue
to impact the region through next week. Low afternoon RHs, poor
overnight recoveries, hot temperatures, and mostly light, terrain
driven winds will persist through middle of next week. That said,
breezy winds through the Kittitas valley will develop this
afternoon and evening, while locally breezy winds through central
Oregon Saturday afternoon and evening will also develop. The
increased winds coupled with low RH will result in conditions
conducive to rapid fire spread for new and existing fires.
