Forest Grove Fire@ForestGroveFireJul 22
Small afternoon brush fire on HWY47 was started by an old burn pile that reignited. Thankfully didn’t spread, but was really close. If you did any burning this spring, go re-soak your burn pile to take out any heat. It takes everyone to prevent a fire.

🌡️Here is a look at forecast high temperatures July 7-15. Expect highs mainly in the 80s each day for most inland valley locations and 60s at the coast, except for slightly cooler temperatures on 7/8 and 7/11 with highs around 75-80°F inland. Enjoy!
A line graph titled "Max Temperatures" forecasts maximum temperatures from Tuesday afternoon, Jul 7 to Wednesday afternoon, Jul 15 for six Pacific Northwest cities: Astoria, Corvallis, Eugene, Longview, Newport, and Portland. The vertical axis measures temperature from 65°F to 90°F. The trend shows relatively stable or dipping temperatures from Tuesday 7/7 through Saturday 7/11, followed by a steady upward warm-up starting Sunday 7/12 that peaks early next week. Eugene, Corvallis, and Portland consistently track higher, starting around 83°F to 85°F, dipping slightly to around 78°F to 80°F on Saturday, and climbing to a peak of 88°F to 89°F by Tuesday 7/14. Longview follows a similar pattern but remains slightly cooler, starting at 79°F and peaking at 86°F. Coastal cities Astoria and Newport remain significantly cooler throughout the entire forecast, tracking together between 63°F and 65°F for most of the week before rising to a maximum of 68°F to 70°F from Monday 7/13 onward.

MORE SNOW… the higher elevations around #Portland getting wintery. SW Bald Peak Rd is pretty treacherous near Bald Peak State Park. Several cars stuck, including me (i got out) as an inch or so of snow has made roads very slick. USE CAUTION in this area #LiveOnK2 #pdxtraffic
