Highs will be a few degrees cooler today, but it won't be helping much. If you're heading out to the Jackson County Fair later today, plan for the heat! Westside areas remain under a HEAT ADVISORY until 8 PM tomorrow.

Smoke has settled in overnight and air quality is not looking great, especially in the Klamath Basin. Today, we can expect widespread smoke and haze due to multiple wildfires burning in and around our region, most of it coming from the Cram Fire in Central Oregon.
