Northwest Fire Weather Summary
Rain is expected for much of
Washington and northern Oregon on Sunday with a clearing, drying trend on
Monday and Tuesday. Temperatures will continue to be cooler than average.
Westerly general winds will continue over the Columbia Basin and much of the
region. However, southwest Oregon will experience northerly general winds with
poorer nighttime humidity recovery on higher ridges. Isolated wet thunderstorms
are possible at times mainly over Washington, but strikes are not anticipated
to be numerous.
Northwest Fire Potential Summary
Energy Release Component values are
at or below average for mid-September due to recent wetter, cooler weather.
Southwest Oregon (PSA NW04) and southeast Oregon (PSA NW12) will likely
continue to have the highest fire danger. Initiation of new large fires on the
landscape appears low because of a lack of critical combinations associated
with low humidity, high fire danger, and sufficient ignition sources.

Forecast, and National 7-Day Significant Fire Potential Forecast
