...HOT, DRY, AND UNSTABLE CONDITIONS FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY... .A strong ridge of high pressure will bring a period of hot and dry conditions to the central and northern Cascades of Washington early into the week. The ridge will shift east of the Cascades early next week with the atmosphere becoming more unstable at that time. Increased instability with hot and dry conditions will bring the potential for critical fire weather conditions. In addition, we are monitoring the potential for isolated thunderstorms on Monday and Tuesday afternoons that could result in new fire starts. * Affected Area: East Washington Central Cascades (Zone 696), East Portion of North Cascades National Park/Lake Chelan National Recreation Area (Zone 697), East Washington North Cascades (Zone 698) and Methow Valley (Zone 704). * Winds: East-southeast 3 to 7 mph in the afternoon becoming west 5 to 10 mph in the evening. * Timing: Afternoon and evening for both Monday and Tuesday * Relative Humidities: Below 4000 feet: 13 to 20 percent. Above 4000 feet: 20 to 30 percent. * Temperatures: Below 4000 feet: 90 to 102 degrees. Above 4000 feet: 75 to 90 degrees. * Lightning: Isolated thunderstorms over the higher terrain. * Impacts: Hot, dry, unstable conditions may lead to rapid fire growth on any new or existing fires. Isolated thunderstorms will bring the potential for new fire starts.

The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, and the Lane Regional Air Protection Agency have continued an Air Quality Advisory, which is in effect until 8 PM PDT Monday. An Air Quality Advisory for Ozone remains in effect. High levels of ozone in the lower atmosphere in the region combined with forecasted conditions will cause air quality to reach unhealthy levels at times through Monday evening. Pollutants in smoke can cause burning eyes, runny nose, aggravate heart and lung diseases, and aggravate other serious health problems. Limit outdoor activities and keep children indoors if it is smoky. Please follow medical advice if you have a heart or lung condition.
