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 this evening.
An Air Quality Advisory for Smoke remains in effect. Wildfires
burning in the region combined with forecasted conditions will cause
air quality to reach unhealthy levels due to smoke and ozone at times
through this 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.

Monsoon moisture will bring a threat of showers and thunderstorms
to the region through midweek. High atmospheric moisture will
allow for isolated thunderstorms producing heavy rain
accumulations, leading to an increased threat of flash flooding.
Tuesday and Wednesday currently have the highest chance for
locally heavy rains, especially in southeast Oregon, near the ID-
NV border, and high terrain in southwest Idaho. Conditions dry out
after Thursday.
Burn scars are the highest risk for flash flooding. The Wapiti
Fire burn scar near Grandjean, ID, the Durkee Fire burn scar near
Ironside, OR, and the Lava Fire burn scar near Cascade, ID are of
particular concern for flash flooding.
