Temperatures will push into the triple digits for many valleys west of the Cascades near the California and Oregon border. Warmer overnight lows and hot afternoon temperatures for multiple days will bring us moderate heat risk. We're also forecasting a record high of 106 in Medford on Wednesday August 5th.
Wildfires will continue to bring smoke and periods of decreased air quality, especially to Lake County, northern/eastern Klamath county and far eastern Douglas county. Monitor air quality conditions at fire.airnow.gov and avoid going outdoors during periods of lowered air quality.
Here is the latest high temperature forecast for locations in our area. This heatwave will challenge a high temperature record here in Medford on August 6th. Still cooler near the coast compared to areas inland.
