More information:
Record-setting heat wave exacerbates drying effect, with relative humidity dropping into the teens. Extreme heat expected to moderate Wednesday, but remain above normal for some time. Easterly winds over Cascades will bolster warming and drying on the west side. Potential for isolated afternoon/evening thunderstorms as early as Tuesday and into the weekend. This results in continued elevated fire potential with possible flareups over central Oregon. Lightning poses increased risk as does fireworks use associated with Independence Day holiday.
