This afternoon the National Weather Service (NWS) held a weather briefing for emergency managers. Their forecast calls for possible thunderstorms and lightning in western Oregon and southwest Washington over the next several days. Fire danger in our area will be high over this weekend and then climb to extremely high during next week. Thunderstorms could bring lightning as well as hail, rain and winds. Lightning could cause wildfires.
Since we are going through a dry spell with warm to hot temperatures the potential for wildfire is high. Additionally, thunderstorms are not a normal event in our area and people may not be prepared. Please refer to the links below for preparedness information on wildfire and thunderstorms.
