Saturday 11:00am: Shower / Thunderstorm chances increase overnight, 2:00am-10:00am Sunday (best chances 4am-8am). Chances are small, but don't be surprised if you hear thunder or get a brief shower. Cooler tomorrow (Sunday) through Friday, with a stretch of much cooler temps. Highs will be around the mid 80's, as opposed to the 90-100° that has been more common than not since July 4th. Normal high/low is 84/51.

FIRE INFO: A "FIRE WEATHER WATCH" is in effect across the area. This DOESN'T MEAN that there will be more fires! Instead, it's a "heads up" that IF thunderstorms occur, lightning-ignited fires are possible due to how dry the grasses/trees/etc are. However, if a thunderstorm does occur and lightning does start a fire, enough rain may fall from the t-storm to put it out. There is NO NEED TO PANIC; everything is NOT going to burn down! The regional fires that are currently burning DO NOT pose a threat to Cottage Grove at this time. Be mindful that shifting winds could blow in some smoke at times.
