Northwest Weather Highlights / Fire Potential:
Northwest Weather Highlights / Fire Potential:
Northwest flow aloft and low level onshore flow over the region today giving us cooler temperatures and a higher humidity across much of the region. A weak disturbance will move southward touching NE Washington on Wednesday to introduce the chance for a few showers or thundershowers to eastern Washington, Then we will be transitioning back to a dry offshore flow again by Thursday on into the weekend with a thermal trough re-establishing itself west of the Cascades for warming and drying.
