Having a pet go-bag and emergency plan can save precious time. Your pet’s go-bag should include food, water, medication, a collar with an ID tag, and familiar items. If possible, evacuate animals sooner rather than later. Keep your pets safe year-round by being prepared. Weather: Thunderstorms will depart northeast Oregon today but continue along the Canadian border through the evening. Main concern for new ignitions remains across NW11 as storms produce abundant lightning with less rainfall. General wind will be weaker through the Cascade gaps and across southeast Oregon today. Wednesday brings a break in convection and winds. Thursday through the weekend brings another low-pressure trough with west side rain along with eastside thunderstorms plus periods of gusty winds. There is low confidence in rain amounts and if thunderstorms will be wet or dry. Prevention: Even with the moderating weather, Oregon is still incredibly dry. Know the fire danger level of the areas where you live, work and play, and follow all local restrictions on burning, equipment use, campfires and other activities that can start wildfires.
