Popsicle Thursday, hot temps and variable breezes

Happy Thursday, Central Oregon!

We are waking up to a clear, sunny sky this morning, after quite a stormy evening in northern Bend and some nearby areas.

We anticipate another hot day in the low 90's across the High Desert. By 8 a.m. we will reach 62 degrees, and by noon we will reach 84 degrees.

Due to wildfire smoke, there is a bit of haziness this morning that we expect to clear out by 8 a.m., and thin clouds will enter the region by noon.

Another breezy day, wind gusts this morning will range from 5-10 miles per hour and reach up to 23 mph by this afternoon and tonight.

Jefferson/ Wasco counties will be in the mid to upper 90's, while Crook and Deschutes counties will be in the upper 80's to low 90's.

We're expecting a mostly clear evening.
