Urgent Heat Advisory Issued for Wallowa County Through Thursday

UPDATE: A critical heat advisory has been just announced for Wallowa County, effective until Thursday, August 17, 2023, at 8 PM. Issued by the National Weather Service at 6:21 PM today, this advisory warns residents of dangerously high temperatures ranging from 92 to 102 degrees Fahrenheit.

The advisory outlines a significant risk of heat-related illnesses, particularly for those exposed to outdoor conditions. “Hot conditions with afternoon high temperatures will pose a moderate to major risk,” the weather service stated. This warning is especially pertinent for areas below approximately 3,000 feet above sea level, with Hells Canyon expected to experience some of the hottest temperatures.

Residents are urged to take necessary precautions to protect themselves from the heat. Symptoms of heat-related illnesses can include dizziness, excessive sweating, and fatigue. Vulnerable populations, including the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions, are at higher risk.

As temperatures soar, community members are encouraged to stay hydrated, avoid strenuous outdoor activities, and seek shade when possible. The National Weather Service advises frequent checks on family members and neighbors who may be particularly susceptible to the heat.

This situation is developing, and further updates will be provided as conditions evolve. Stay tuned for the latest information to ensure your safety and well-being during this extreme heat event.
