HELP
HELP THE
HELP THE -- HOPE. >>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THE
WEATHER PICK WE COULD ALL USE A
LITTLE POSITIVE ATTITUDE WITH
THE FIRE DANGER OUT THERE.
HI WINDS AND HEAT CAN BE A
PRETTY DANGEROUS COMBINATION.
>> YEAH, THEY CAN.
AND THAT'S WHY WE ARE REALLY
WORRIED ABOUT THIS OVER THE
NEXT 36 HOURS.
THE ACCOMMODATION OF THE DRY
CONDITIONS WE HAVE HAD OVER THE
LAST SEVERAL WEEKS, THE HOT
WEATHER OF COURSE AND THEN THE
ADDED FACTOR OF THE WIND.
IS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE IN OF
ITSELF AS WE GET INTO MONDAY
NIGHT, TUESDAY.
NIGHT, TUESDAY. WE WILL CHECK THAT OUT AGAIN IN
JUST A SECOND.
LET'S TAKE IT LIVE RIGHT NOW.
LOOKING WEST DOWN THROUGH THE
GORGE.
GORGE.
GORGE. THE CALM BEFORE THE WIND REALLY
RATCHETS UP.
RATCHETS UP. THE SUN IS DOWN.
IT'S A PRETTY EVENING ON THE
EAST GORGE AND REALLY A PRETTY
NICE EVENING ACROSS MOST OF THE
STATE OF OREGON AFTER PRETTY
WARM DAY.
WARM DAY.
WARM DAY. WE JUST MISSED 90 IN PORTLAND.
THE BIG PICTURE ACROSS THE
STATE, THERE IS SOME HEAT.
AGAIN, MEDFORD, 100.
ONTARIO, CLOSE TO IT.
THERE WAS SOME TRIPLE DIGIT
HEAT IN THE COLUMBIA BASIN AS
WELL.
WELL.
WELL. IT
WELL. IT WILL ALSO BE QUITE WELL --
QUITE WARM TOMORROW.
OUR LABOR DAY IS GOING TO BE A
HOT ONE, UP AND DOWN THE I-FIVE
CORRIDOR.
CORRIDOR.
CORRIDOR. THE FIRE DANGER WAS MENTIONED.
HIGH TO EXTREME.
WINDY CONDITIONS IN OUR
FORECAST.
FORECAST.
FORECAST. SO THERE WE GO, RED FLAG
WARNINGS IN EFFECT FOR THAT
ENTIRE AREA, TAKING UP A LOT OF
REAL ESTATE THERE WITH THAT
HIGH MAGENTA COVER.
THIS ALSO INCLUDES HILLSBORO.
IT'S NOT A STRETCH THAT WE
COULD SEE WINDS GUSTING 45 TO
50 MILES PER HOUR.
I WILL SHOW YOU FUTURECAST IN
JUST A SECOND THEN WE'VE GOT A
WIND WARNING FOR THE HIGHER
TERRAIN IN THE CASCADES AND THE
COAST RANGE AND REALLY ALL THE
WAY DOWN TO THE BEACH.
A COUPLE THOUSAND FEET, WHERE
WE COULD SEE WINDS GUSTING OVER
105 MILES PER HOUR.
THAT SOUNDS LIKE AN ICE STORM
IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER.
THIS IS SUMMER, AND THIS IS A
VERY UNUSUAL WEATHER PATTERN.
A LOT OF TREES STILL STRESSED
FROM THE HOT, DRY SUMMER.
IT'S POSSIBLE THAT WE WILL SEE
DOWN TREES AND OF COURSE, MAYBE
EVEN SOME SCATTERED POWER
OUTAGES.
OUTAGES.
OUTAGES. THIS IS, AGAIN, LATER TOMORROW
AND TOMORROW NIGHT.
WE'VE GOT A VERY STRONG COLD
FRONT AND A STRONG HIGH-
PRESSURE THERE'S GOING TO BE
BUILDING IN OVER THE NORTH OF
THE ROCKIES.
THE ROCKIES. AND THEY WILL SEE 50 TO 70
DEGREE TEMPERATURE SWINGS
ACROSS MONTANA, WYOMING AND
COLORADO.
COLORADO.
COLORADO. MORE ON THAT IN A SECOND.
BUT WHAT THAT'S GOING TO DO IS
DRIVE A VERY STRONG EAST WIND
THROUGH THE GORGE AND WEST OF
THE CASCADES AND AGAIN, THIS IS
NOT JUST A GORGE EVENT.
THIS IS UP AND DOWN THE ENTIRE
I-FIVE CORRIDOR.
I-FIVE CORRIDOR. WE WILL ALL BE FEELING THAT
WIND RATCHET UP TOMORROW AND IT
WILL BE ESPECIALLY STRONGLY
TOMORROW NIGHT INTO THE WEE
HOURS OF TUESDAY MORNING BEFORE
THE WIND FINALLY SUBSIDES.
SO WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT?
HERE'S FUTURECAST AND I DON'T
THINK THAT THIS IS A STRETCH AT
ALL.
ALL.
ALL. TO
ALL. TO SEE WINDS GUSTING 40 TO 50
IN THE METRO AREA.
THIS SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY SURE
THING.
THING.
THING. IF
THING. IF ANYTHING, THIS COULD BE A
LITTLE UNDERDOG.
LITTLE UNDERDOG. IT'S GOT FUTURECAST AT THE
TESTING OVER 45 IN PORTLAND.
AND AGAIN, THESE ARE POSSIBLY
CONSERVATIVE NUMBERS.
CONSERVATIVE NUMBERS. IT'S SOMETHING WE'VE REALLY GOT
TO WATCH OUT FOR.
WILL ALSO SEE THE TEMPERATURES
WARM UP QUITE A BIT.
90 IN TILLAMOOK.
THAT AS POSSIBLE AS THE EAST
WIND REALLY GETS CRACKING AGAIN
ON TUESDAY.
ON TUESDAY. AS THE TEMPERATURES IN THE
VALLEY DROPPED JUST A LITTLE
BIT.
BIT.
BIT. WE'VE GOT A REALLY WILD
INTERESTING WEATHER PATTERN HERE
SHAPING UP AS WE GO INTO THE
NEXT 36 HOURS.
WE WILL BE HOT TOMORROW, THE
WIND STARTS TO RATCHET UP IN
THE AFTERNOON.
THE AFTERNOON. AND PICKS OUT LATE MONDAY NIGHT
INTO TUESDAY.
INTO TUESDAY. THE WIND BEGINS TO SUBSIDE ON
TUESDAY AND THEN WE ARE BACK
INTO JUST SUNNY AND HOT FOR
DAYS.
DAYS.
DAYS. WE
DAYS. WE ARE GOING TO TALK ON ANOTHER
3 TO 4 90 DEGREE
