An Extreme Heat Watch is in effect for Central Douglas County from 10:00 a.m. Sunday through 2:00 a.m. Tuesday.

Forecasters at the National Weather Service in Medford said dangerously hot temperatures near 100 to 105 degrees are possible. Very warm overnight temperatures of 65 to 70 degrees are possible as well.

The Watch area includes portions of the Umpqua Basin and applies to Roseburg, Camas Valley, Elkton, Drain, Sutherlin, Glendale, Riddle and Canyonville.

Forecasters said heat related illnesses increase significantly during extreme heat. Warm overnight temperatures will provide little relief from hot daytime conditions.

Residents should drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun and check up on relatives and neighbors. Do not leave young children and pets in unattended vehicles. Car interiors will reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.
