Tonight:  Expect another mostly clear evening around our region tonight. Winds from the northeast are expected to continue to blow between 5 – 15 mph for most of Southern Oregon and Northern California, with some winds gusting up to 30 mph along the coast. Overnight temperatures will once again be rather chilly. Lows tonight will dip into the mid-40s to low-50s in our westside valleys with low to mid 30s east of the Cascades. The coast is typically the mild spot and that will prove true once again tonight, with temperatures only falling into the mid to upper 50s.

Tomorrow: Good air quality will continue into tomorrow, until later portions of the day. Light smoke could start to build in from the south into Siskiyou County and southern portions of the Basin during the afternoon and early evening. Air quality elsewhere will be good for most of the day. Clouds will start to build-in from west to east during the late morning and early afternoon, but they should quickly move out of the area during the early evening. Tomorrow we’ll be much warmer. Highs will get into the mid to upper-80s in our westside valleys. In the Cascades and Basin, it’ll warm up into the upper-70s to low 80s. Winds could gust up to 25 mph in the Cascades tomorrow. Offshore winds along the coast could warm some portions of Curry County into the mid-70s, but the rest of the coastline will be in the 60s.

Extended: The rest of the week should stay dry, and temperatures will fluctuate between above and below average, but nothing extreme is expected. Whether you choose to accept it or not, the first day of fall is within our reach. Fall equinox is on Wednesday, and we’ll have nice, dry weather to ring in the new season. Our next chance for rain doesn’t appear to be until next week. Some of the smoke that potenitally builds in Tuesday afternoon and evening could effect our air quality on Wednesday, but it's too early to have extreme confidence in that prediction. We'll continue to track the evolving smoke situation throughout the week.
