...ELEVATED FIRE CONCERNS FOR AREAS WITHIN THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY
AND WESTERN COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE THROUGH THIS EVENING...

Breezy winds, low relative humidities along with dry grasses and
shrubs are resulting in favorable conditions for fire spread
through this evening. The areas of highest concern are within the
Willamette Valley and the Western Columbia River Gorge. The
strongest winds and lowest relative humidities are likely to
occur within the Southern and Central Willamette Valley.

Please limit activities that could result in stray sparks or
fires.
