Fire Weather Planning Forecast for NE Oregon and SE Washington
National Weather Service Pendleton OR
247 PM PDT Thu Jul 18 2024

...FIRE WEATHER WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH
SATURDAY EVENING FOR OR642 FOR HOT, DRY, AND UNSTABLE CONDITIONS...


.DISCUSSION...Hot and dry conditions expected over the next
several days as high pressure builds over the Pacific Northwest.
High instability may become an issue during this heat wave over
the weekend as well. A weather system will then work to break
down this high pressure Sunday onward, leading to a chance of
thunderstorms across central Oregon, before extending toward the
eastern mountains on Monday. With this breakdown in the high
pressure, winds are also expected to pick up across the forecast
area, potentially leading to more critical fire weather
conditions.


***Thunderstorms imply strong gusty winds***
***Winds are 20 foot 10 minute averages***
***CWR-chance of wetting rain 0.10 or greater***
