Northwest Fire Potential Summary
Monday and Tuesday low pressure off of the northwestern California coast will bring isolated to scattered thunderstorms across Southern Oregon. Wednesday through Friday moisture and instability is likely to ripple north and northeastward as the area of low pressure gets pushed ahead of a broader upper level trough approaching from the Gulf of Alaska. Areas of isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected in the Wednesday through Friday time frame, bringing a significant concern for new starts and large fires.
