Northwest Fire Potential Summary
Showers will gradually diminish through the day Friday as flow aloft becomes more northerly. High pressure builds over the Pacific Northwest starting later Friday and strengthens through the weekend, bringing abundant sunshine, warm temperatures and light offshore flow. Onshore flow resumes early next week with temperatures returning closer to seasonal normal as the next low pressure system approaches the forecast area.
