“Strong to possibly severe thunderstorms are expected for much of the area today, with the highest chances east of the Cascades in Oregon and especially across northern Klamath and Lake counties. There is a marginal to slight risk for severe thunderstorms (5-29%), mainly for areas from around/just north of Crater Lake, along Highway 97 north of Chiloquin and across the Christmas Valley. The main threat with storms will be strong, damaging winds, but also lightning, hail and heavy rainfall. Storms will move from east to west early on, then shift direction from north to south late this afternoon/evening. Thunderstorm chances diminish the farther south and west you are where the atmosphere will be more stable, but widespread showers are still expected.“

"Springer Creek Fire (#140) - A lightning-caused, estimated half-acre fire just south of Cavitt Creek Road is controlled.

Boulder Fire (#142) – An estimated 0.9-acre fire, just northeast of Boulder Flat Campground is contained.

Both Umpqua National Forest and Douglas Forest Protective Association resources responded. This will be the last update unless there are significant changes.

As temperatures continue to warm, please do your part to reduce the number of human-caused wildfires. Remember that even fires in FS constructed fire rings within designated recreation sites need to be dead out before leaving your campsite. Drown, stir, and feel your campfire with the back of your hand. It should feel cold to touch before leaving your campsite."

“An Umpqua National Forest engine, a Douglas Forest Protective Association engine and one individual resource are responding to a lightning-caused start off Cavitt Creek Road on the North Umpqua Ranger District. Springer Creek Fire is estimated at a half-acre and is currently 70% contained. As we continue into the summer months, smoke reports from the public are always appreciated to aid in early detection of fire starts. To help us, here are some tips for calling in a smoke report: - Always remember that your safety comes first. If a fire is threatening you, move to a safe location before calling in. - Note the location as best you can. Helpful information may include what road you are on, other roads in the vicinity, the closest mile marker, any nearby recreation sites, and the direction of smoke from your position. GPS coordinates are helpful if you have them. - Gather as much information as possible. Are flames visible? Is the amount of smoke heavy, moderate, or light? What color is the smoke? - Call the report in. On the Forest, calls go to our dispatch office - Roseburg Interagency Communications Center which can be reached at (541) 957-3325.” Via U.S. Forest Service - Umpqua National Forest

Abby’s Legendary Pizza opened its 37th Northwest location Monday evening, debuting a parlor inside the Fred Meyer at 6495 SE Tualatin Valley Highway in Hillsboro. The opening marks the family-owned chain’s first parlor on the west side of Portland.

Construction began earlier this spring after what the company described as decades of letters, calls and emails from west-side customers requesting a location closer to home. The parlor sits directly in front of the Fred Meyer grocery check stands, just past the store entrance.

The menu features the chain’s classic pizzas, salads and longtime favorites. A mural inside the parlor depicts area landmarks, including the Hillsboro Hops stadium and Multnomah Falls. The space also houses a separate Oregon Lottery video lottery room.

“We are excited to welcome the community to our beautiful new space,” Abby’s President Mike Hudspeth said in a statement. Hudspeth pointed to the company’s role hosting family meals, team parties and community fundraisers at its parlors, saying the tradition would now extend to the west side of Portland.

The Hillsboro parlor hired locally and counts students from nearby high schools among its staff, according to the company. Its general manager has longstanding ties to the community, though Abby’s did not identify the person in its announcement.

Abby’s was founded in Roseburg in 1964 by high school friends Abby Broughton and Bob “Skinny” Harrell. The company is headquartered in Oregon and employs more than 800 people. Its other parlors include locations in Gresham, Oregon City, Newberg and Woodburn. The chain markets itself on what it calls toppings to the edge and a giant pepperoni pizza topped with more than 100 slices.

The Washington County Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting ceremony at the new parlor on Wednesday May 20th.
