Northwest Fire Potential Summary
Instability and the risk of lightning will move into Oregon from the south on Sunday increasing the potential for growth on existing fires and any new fires. Sunday’s lightning is expected to cause new fire starts but the amount of new fire starts should not overwhelm initial attack resources. After Sunday critical conditions for new significant fire activity is relatively low.
