## extract

Red Flag Warning — Southern Blue Mountains; Central Mountains of Oregon; Southern Deschutes National Forest
Severity: Severe. Certainty: Likely.
...The upper level low over the region will shift to the east
just enough to allow for monsoonal moisture to move into the
region. Instability will accompany the moisture and allow for
increased chances of thunderstorms across central Oregon and the
eastern mountains. Isolated dry thunderstorms could spark new
wildfires and gusty outflow winds can affect fires already on the
landscape...

* AFFECTED AREA...Fire Weather Zones 698 Southern Blue
Mountains, 700 Central Mountains of Oregon and 705 Southern
Deschutes National Forest.

* TIMING...From 11 AM to 11 PM PDT Wednesday.

* IMPACTS...Any fire that develops will catch and spread
quickly. Outdoor burning is not recommended.

* THUNDERSTORMS...Isolated to scattered dry thunderstorms after
11 AM Wednesday.

* OUTFLOW WINDS...Gusts from 25-35 mph
