Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has issued an Air Quality Advisory.. until 9 PM PDT Monday. A Smoke Air Quality Advisory has been issued. Wildfires burning in the region combined with forecasted conditions will cause air quality to reach unhealthy levels. 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.

In western Washington, significant growth on existing fires takes place under such conditions. If a fire were to begin, air quality may diminish in the surrounding area.

Breezy easterly winds are expected through Friday night for the Columbia River Gorge and adjacent Cascade ridgetops and late Friday morning through Friday evening for the eastern Portland/Vancouver metro. Winds will be strongest on exposed ridgetops where wind gusts will most likely peak between 25-35 mph. Elsewhere, expect wind gusts between 15-20 mph, except up to 30 mph in the western Columbia River Gorge. The breezy east winds will occur simultaneously with low relative humidity values of 20-30% or less, resulting in near critical fire weather conditions. Due to recent rains in the area, larger fuels (such as trees and shrubs) are not dry enough to cause rapid fire spread, but the hot weather will allow fine fuels (such as grasses) to dry out quickly, allowing for potential rapid spread. Use extra caution with potential ignition sources, especially in grassy areas. Outdoor burning is not recommended.
