Red Flag Warning
The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for the Portland Metro and Willamette Valley from 2 to 8 pm on Saturday, July 15. Lea esta información en español.
A Red Flag Warning means warm temperatures, very low humidity, and stronger winds are expected to combine to produce an increased risk of fire danger. It also means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now or will shortly.
Our unseasonably warm, dry conditions are expected to create conditions favorable for rapid fire spread.
Heat Advisory
A Heat Advisory is also in effect Saturday, July 15 from 12 to 9 pm.
