An excessive heat warning is in effect for Central Oregon and the John Day Basin until 10 PM PDT Thursday. Afternoon temperatures may exceed 105 degrees with little overnight relief. The risk of heat-related illnesses is high during this extreme heat event. It is recommended to stay hydrated, stay cool, stay informed, and check on relatives and neighbors. It is important to avoid leaving young children and pets in unattended vehicles as car interiors can reach lethal temperatures quickly.

In addition, dry and breezy conditions continue in the region. Breezy conditions are expected to cease in the Kittitas Valley overnight, but central Oregon will experience breezy winds and single-digit relative humidities on Saturday. A red flag warning is in effect from 2 PM to 9 PM PDT Saturday for fire weather zones in central Oregon. Northwest winds of 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph and relative humidity as low as 6 percent can lead to rapid fire spread and extreme fire behavior.

Residents in the affected areas should take precautions and be aware of the heightened fire risk. It is important to stay informed and follow safety guidelines to prevent heat-related illnesses and wildfire hazards during this period of extreme weather conditions.
