.Hot, dry and unstable conditions have been observed across
eastern Oregon. A Pacific frontal system tracking across eastern
Oregon and far southeast Washington will bring another round of
showers and thunderstorms on Sunday. Storms are not expected to
bring as much lightning as what was observed on Labor Day, but the
potential lightning is enough to warrant Fire Weather Watches.

* AFFECTED AREA…Fire Weather Zones 640 Central Mountains of
Oregon and 642 Southern Blue and Strawberry Mountains.

* TIMING…Now through Saturday evening.

* RELATIVE HUMIDITY…As low as 12 percent.

* TEMPERATURES…Up to 92.

* IMPACTS…Possible plume dominated fire behavior.

* ADDITIONAL INFORMATION…Isolated thunderstorms are forecast
for Saturday evening that may also bring new starts to the
area.

A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions
are either occurring now, or will shortly. A combination of
strong winds, low relative humidity, and warm temperatures can
contribute to extreme fire behavior.
