...HOT, DRY, AND UNSTABLE CONDITIONS EXPECTED IN CENTRAL OREGON OVER THE NEXT TWO DAYS... .Hot conditions, combined with low relative humidities and an unstable air mass, have the potential to create significant, plume-dominated fire growth in the area surrounding the Flat Fire. Unstable conditions will relent overnight, however relative humidity recoveries are expected to be poor. The National Weather Service in Pendleton has issued a Red Flag Warning for hot, dry, and unstable conditions, which is in effect from noon Sunday to 9 PM PDT Monday. * AFFECTED AREA...Eastern portion of Fire Weather Zones 700 Central Mountains of Oregon and western portion of 704 Northern Deschutes National Forest, primarily including areas around the Flat Fire. * TIMING...From noon Sunday to 9 PM PDT Monday. * MIXING HEIGHT...As high as 8,000 ft AGL Sunday and 11,500 ft AGL Monday. * RELATIVE HUMIDITY...As low as 15 percent. * IMPACTS...A dry and unstable air mass with warm temperatures can contribute to active fire behavior.

...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 this weekend. 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 Tuesday 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.

The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, and the Lane Regional Air Protection Agency have continued an Air Quality Advisory, which is in effect from 10 AM Saturday to 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 can cause burning eyes, runny nose, aggravate heart and lung diseases, and aggravate other serious health problems. Limit outdoor activities and keep children indoors. Please follow medical advice if you have a heart or lung condition. More information about air quality can be found at: www.orcaa.org www.swcleanair.gov www.oregon.gov/DEQ www.lrapa.org
