Lebanon, OR Warnings, Watches and Advisories

Special Weather Statement issued October 16 at 8:04PM PDT by NWS Pendleton OR

Elevated fire weather conditions persist through the overnight hours tonight in the Grande Ronde Valley as dry air and breezy to locally windy conditions continue. Minimum relative humidity levels will improve up to 30-35% through the evening hours with fair to moderate overnight recoveries expected. Sustained winds, however, will continue to be 20-30 mph with gusts up to 35 mph through the overnight hours. Winds will weaken as we head into the mid to late morning hours on Saturday. There also exist a chance of localized blowing dust associated with the breezy winds that can bring major impacts to visibility along roadways, including portions of interstate 84.

When a severe thunderstorm warning is issued, the storm may produce damaging winds, large hail, dangerous lightning, and heavy rain. In some cases, heavy rainfall produced by a severe storm can also lead to flash flooding. Do not drive vehicles through flooded areas. The water depth or fast flowing water/mud/debris from a flash flood will make road conditions unsafe. Do not rely soley on data presented here or other third-party websites - always check your official national and local weather service agency website, socials, radio and/or TV stations for making critical decisions related to weather events.

Please carefully read each posted Warning and Alert as it relates to the area(s) being affected. We may provide a wider range of issued severe weather warnings for surrounding cities and counties, so some alerts may not directly impact this location.
