Heat Continues Before Midweek Rain Chances

Central Oregon is experiencing a heatwave, with temperatures hitting the lower to mid-90s in cities like Bend and Redmond through Tuesday. Slightly cooler spots like Sisters and Sunriver will see highs in the upper 70s to upper 80s. Smoke from nearby areas could create patchy conditions tonight into Sunday morning, adding to the discomfort. Rain chances are expected midweek, offering some relief from the intense heat. This weather pattern is important as prolonged heat can impact daily activities and health, especially for vulnerable populations.
