Drying out, not as hot, but not for long

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ).  The rainy and stormy day is behind us and so are the 90-degree afternoon high temperatures. The afternoon highs will be in the middle to upper 80s through Friday, but the 90s are back for the weekend.

There were a number of new fire starts recently due to the lightning storms that pushed through Tuesday.  The region did not get beneficial rainfall, just isolated heavy rain in very few spots so we should still be concerned about the fire danger, as usual this time of year.

The temperatures push back into the 90s Saturday and stay there for most of next week. The chance for any widespread rainfall is off the table for at least the end of next week.

Remember to never leave kids or pets in your vehicle, even if you think it is only going to be a few minutes. Inside your vehicle can hit triple digits in just about 10 – 15 minutes when it is 90 outside.  

Please stay safe and have fun.
