NWS Medford: “With warmer temperatures on the way, it’s good to remember that area waterways remain cold and rivers are swift. Wear a life jacket, limit time in cold water, never swim alone and have a flotation device that can be thrown to someone in need.”

Today and Tuesday will feature the highest potential for heat related illnesses due to exposure to high temperatures. Overnight lows will also not cool off a lot resulting in more risk of heat exhaustion and heat stroke in extreme cases. Make sure you hydrate and seek cooling.

Lightning potential will increase on Friday for areas in yellow on the graphic below. Some of these storms could become strong in nature with frequent lightning, gusty outflow winds and hail. I will be monitoring this closely over the coming days.

Infrared satellite shows another morning with almost entirely no cloud cover across the region. This is a sign that the ridge of high pressure is firmly in control. We will certainly see triple digits develop across the western interior valleys.

If you want to escape the heat and enjoy the sunshine you need to head up to Crater Lake National Park. The always enjoyable Sinnott Overlook webcam sure makes it look amazing this morning.
