* Impacts: Isolated to scattered thunderstorms combined with very
dry vegetation are likely to result in new fire starts. Gusty
thunderstorm winds could contribute to fire spread. Despite
rainfall with some of the thunderstorms, initial attack resources
could be overwhelmed and holdover fires are possible.
* Affected area: In Fire Weather Zone 617, areas east of Toketee
Falls and the Willamette National Forest portion. In Fire Weather
Zone 623, areas east of Union Creek and from Crater Lake National
Park northward. In Fire Weather Zone 624, areas north of
Chiloquin and Sprague River, including Chemult. This includes the
Timber Crater 6 and 10 fires. In Fire Weather Zone 625, areas
north and east of Paisley, including Summer Lake and Fort Rock,
and also areas from Hart Mountain Wildlife Refuge eastward.
* Thunderstorms: Scattered thunderstorms are expected from Crater
and Diamond Lakes northeastward and across northern Klamath and
Lake counties. Confidence in thunderstorms occuring in that area
is high. Isolated thunderstorms are expected as far south as just
north of Sprague River, and for some areas east of Summer Lake in
Lake and Harney counties. Confidence in thunderstorms occuring in
that area is moderate.
