Local Alert Weather – Mon. PM
Happy Monday evening, everyone!
An AIR STAGNATION ADVISORY remains in effect until at least 10 a.m. Tuesday. Air quality levels have been suffering due to smoke put off some prescribed burns and other pollutants. High pressure is keeping the air mass still.
Overnight expect calm winds and hazy skies as smoke lingers from prescribed burns in the region. We’ll see mostly clear skies apart from the patchy smoke in some areas. Temperatures will be in the 20s and 30s.
Tuesday wakes up to sunshine and smoky skies. We’ll see mostly sunny skies through the afternoon before some clouds increase out from the west. Temperatures will top out in the mid to upper 60s and lower 70s. Winds will be calm.
Those west of the Cascades and across the mountains might see a few spotty rain showers tomorrow night as a weak front pushes through. This front could be enough to help clear out our skies of the smoke.
Wednesday sees a slight cool down as daytime highs will be in the low to mid 60s. We’ll see partly cloudy skies.
Heading into Thursday clouds will increase and we’ll see our chances for rain showers increase as well. By Thursday evening we could see some light rain make a return to Central Oregon. Daytime highs will still be in the upper 50s and low to mid 60s.
