Oregon's state climatologist Larry O'Neill warns that the state is facing a potentially catastrophic wildfire season in 2026, driven by record-low snowpack, early drought declarations, and an emerging El Niño climate pattern that historically brings warmer and drier conditions to the Pacific Northwest. Fire officials are preparing for an active season, urging homeowners to clear defensible space and cautioning residents about debris burning restrictions.
