The National Weather Service in Medford has issued a Fire Weather
Watch, which is in effect from Wednesday morning through
Wednesday evening.
* IMPACTS...Abundant lightning on dry fuels will likely create
new ignitions across the region. Any fires that develop could
spread rapidly. Numerous new fire starts could overwhelm
initial attack.
* AFFECTED AREA...Areas in southern Oregon along and east of the
Cascades, along the western foothills and slopes of the
Cascades, and over the Siskiyous, including Fire Weather Zones
617...621...622...623...624 and 625.
* THUNDERSTORMS...Moving roughly north to northeast around 15 to
20 mph. Storm mode will be mostly wet thunderstorms, but dry
lightning strikes can occur outside of wet cores.
* OUTFLOW WINDS...Isolated gusts up to 45 mph.

...The upper level low over the region will shift to the east
just enough to allow for monsoonal moisture to move into the
region. Instability will accompany the moisture and allow for
increased chances of thunderstorms across central Oregon and the
eastern mountains. Isolated dry thunderstorms could spark new
wildfires and gusty outflow winds can affect fires already on the
landscape...
* AFFECTED AREA...Fire Weather Zones 698 Southern Blue
Mountains, 700 Central Mountains of Oregon and 705 Southern
Deschutes National Forest.
* TIMING...From 11 AM to 11 PM PDT Wednesday.

Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has issued an Air Quality
Advisory until 4 PM PDT Wednesday.
For the Air Quality Advisory, stagnant air conditions will trap
smoke and other air pollutants near the ground where people breathe.
Check with your local health or air agency for current restrictions
on woodstove use. There are often exceptions for those who use wood
exclusively to heat their homes and those with limited income.
People can take the following precautions to protect their health:
* Follow local burn restrictions to prevent deteriorating air
quality.
* Avoid strenuous outdoor activity in smoky conditions.
* People with heart or lung problems and young children are
especially vulnerable. These people should stay indoors while
smoke levels are high.
* Use certified High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters in
indoor heating ventilation, cooling, and air purification systems.
* Avoid using wood-burning stoves and other sources of indoor smoke
if possible.
