Possible isolated storm today, Fire Weather Watch tomorrow

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) - Friday is heating up across Central Oregon, with daytime highs climbing into the upper 80s and low 90s.

We'll see increasing clouds through the afternoon, and while an isolated shower or thunderstorm is possible, severe weather is not expected.

The Storm Prediction Center continues to include parts of Central Oregon in the General Thunderstorm Risk area for Friday. There is also a concern for dry lightning south of the Tri-Counties.

If you're heading out to the Juneteenth Celebration tomorrow, temperatures won't be as hot. We're going to cool back down into the low to mid 80s over the weekend. That is still above average for mid-June here.

Breezy conditions are expected Saturday, and a Fire Weather Watch has been issued due to the combination of increasing winds and dry conditions.

Sunday marks the official start of summer with the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. Bend will see approximately 15.5 hours of daylight.

It looks like we'll have great weather for Father's Day with warm and sunny conditions. A nice little gift for all the dads spending time outdoors this weekend.

The warm pattern continues into early next week, with highs returning to the upper 80s and low 90s.
