Hazy reprieve for Thursday with 70+ degree temps

Good Thursday morning, Central Oregon, and happy Friday eve!

We woke up to a cool and mostly clear morning across the High Desert. We have a reprieve from the haze just for today, sunny skies will stick with us well into the evening. The smoke and haze will return by the start of the weekend.

The tri-county region will reach mid 70 to low 80 degree temps, so a bit warmer as we move closer to the weekend.

By Labor Day, we will be topping out in the mid 80's across the region.

We have gentle breezes this morning, but by this evening, breezes could reach 9 to 11 mph, and we expect a calm, mostly clear evening to follow.
