Northwest Weather Highlights / Fire Potential:
Northwest Weather Highlights / Fire Potential:
A warm and dry upper ridge along with low level offshore flow with a weak thermal trough west of the Cascades will elevate the burning conditions a bit today mainly in Western Oregon. Conditions will begin to moderate slowly downward again for the latter half of the week as the upper ridge moves eastward and another Pacific trough begins to approach the coast. As the next trough moves onshore on the weekend, look for increasing westerly winds along with increasing chance for showers and wet thunderstorms.
