Forecast Highs vs Records

Critical fire weather conditions are expected this afternoon and evening due to gusty NW winds and low relative humidity for west side areas south of the Umpqua Divide, mainly Jackson, Josephine and western Siskiyou counties. This could result in the rapid spread of new or existing fires. Do your part to prevent a spark…one less spark, one less fire!
