ODF Highlight: Do you know how to check the air quality in your area? As wildfire season continues to bring smoke to Oregon’s communities, Oregon Department of Environmental Quality encourages you to check your air quality by viewing the Air Quality Index on https://aqi.oregon.gov/ or the free OregonAIR smartphone app.
Weather: Showers and storms move out of the geographic area this morning then redevelop along the Canadian border this afternoon. General westerly winds increase further today east of the Cascades, particularly near the gaps. Warm and dry weather prevails the rest of the week, though showers and thunderstorms continue along the Canadian border and far north Cascades. Storms should be wet, but Thursday, Friday, and Saturday could become problematic from lightning activity. Strengthening low pressure over the Great Basin starting Wednesday will enhance northerly winds across eastern Oregon heading into the weekend.
Prevention: So far this year, more than 80% of the fires ODF has responded to were caused by people. While many of those were likely unintentional, it doesn’t make them any less destructive. Know the fire danger level of the areas where you live, work and play, and follow all local restrictions on burning, equipment use, campfires and other activities that can start wildfires. Find danger levels and restrictions across the state here.
