Advisories:

• A DENSE FOG ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 AM TODAY FOR THE SOUTH WILLAMETTE VALLEY.

A Blue-Green Algae warning continues for Tenmile Lakes in Coos County, Fern Ridge Reservoir, Lost Creek Lake,  Devils Lake and Willow Creek Reservoir (NE Oregon). Water monitoring has confirmed the presence of blue-green algae that can produce toxins, state public health officials said. The algae levels are likely associated with dangerous cyanotoxin concentrations in the water that can be harmful to humans and animals. Swallowing or inhaling water droplets, as well as skin contact with water, should be avoided according to the authorities.

A short-lived and weak high pressure ridge (Shaded “Arch” shape) is trying to keep us dry, but an upper level low (Shaded “U” shape offshore) will bring back the chance of rain by sending a frontal system our by  tonight.
