Northwest Fire Potential Summary
Steadily rising fire danger is expected through the weekend and into next week due to a strong warming and drying spell. General winds will decrease over most of the area as this hot spell sets in. No significant lightning is expected for the time being. Initial attack activity is likely to decrease due to the decreasing winds. Regional preparedness level likely to remain at 1 for the time being.
