Fire information

More information:

Thunderstorms are predicted to bring lightning to southern, south central, and eastern Oregon through Wednesday. The storms should bring enough precipitation to stay below the high-risk threshold for new significant fires; however, wind gusts could challenge control efforts on new and existing fires. Temperatures will cool a bit mid-week and then rise again Thursday into next weekend, with possible record high temperatures.
