Fire danger continues to rise rapidly with the hot and dry weather over the area. General winds have decreased for the majority of the area although locally gusty easterly winds are possible over the passes of the Cascades and Oregon Coast Range. On Sunday afternoon some lightning fires are expected over sections of Southern and Central Oregon spreading north and east Sunday night and Monday. The combination of rising fire danger and lightning is most prominent in Central and Southern Oregon which have been marked as “High Risk” for large wildfires on Sunday and Monday. Late Monday and Tuesday a cooling trend with winds will set in. Regional Preparedness Level will rise to 2 by Sunday.
