Red Flag Warnings Issued for Portions of Oregon and Washington Amid Wildfire Smoke and Dry Conditions

Red Flag Warnings are in effect for Kittitas/Yakima Valleys, Lower Columbia Basin, Eastern Columbia River Gorge, and Warm Springs Reservation from Friday, August 7, to Saturday, August 8. These warnings are due to breezy winds overlapping with very dry conditions. Additionally, smoke from multiple wildfires in Oregon and Washington continues to degrade air quality, prompting air quality alerts and advisories until further notice.
