An Upper Level High Pressure is still in charge of our weather pattern, The graphics for days 1-3 show a cold front pushing over the top of the high pressure ridge and moving through Oregon yesterday.

Note: Lane County residents will have to wait until Tuesday, October 15, 2024, at the earliest for the opening of the fall outdoor burning season. The season is typically scheduled to start on October 1 each year. However, the decision to delay has been jointly made by the Lane County Fire Defense Board and the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF).
