Fire in Oregon.

As the Santa Ana Winds in Southern California begin their annual downhill blow and wildfires pose danger, we here in Oregon think of the potential fire season impact we may endure.

The National Weather Service released its first look at the 2020 fire season in early April anticipating warmer, drier spring could potentially lead to an earlier start to fire season. However, lower precipitation expected through the summer months will also limit the potential for lightning strikes.

Forecasters consider several pieces of data to predict the upcoming fire season's behavior, including how they have shaped up in previous years with similar conditions in place.  Fast forward to June and we are anticipating our first long weekend of 85-90-degree heat. Alluding to the start of what we call “Fire Season” here at SERVPRO. As we keep our eye on the weather, know that SERVPRO is here to help and on top of the ever-changing weather patterns. 503-427-9535
