Get ready for a hot week!

A fine Monday to all of you Central Oregonians! Some strong high pressure over our forecast area will affect us for most of this week, leaving us in the midst of a short heat wave. The system will shift eastward on Tuesday, when the hottest temps of the week are expected, some meeting record highs.

A low-pressure system pressing north from California could create a chance (around 15-20%) of some storm activity in the southern Deschutes National Forest on Tuesday, as well as parts of south-central Oregon in the late afternoon and evening.

Highs today will be in the upper 80s and low 90’s, but a heat advisory goes into effect at 11AM and lasts through Thursday the 17th at 11PM. It will affect portions of central, north-central and northeast Oregon, as well as central, south central and southeast Washington.

Tonight will be another seasonable night, with lows in the 50s to mid 60s. Overnight lows could even reach the 70s during the warmest parts of the week.

Winds today will stay moderate, for the most part, out of the east and northeast but will likely change to the west and pick up speed going into our potentially record high Tuesday!
