Northwest Weather Highlights / Fire Potential:
Dry
and mild southwesterly flow over the region. There appears to be a weak upper
level disturbance that will move eastward through the area today and could
result in some lightning in eastern Oregon. IA activity is expected to be on
the light side with this system with minimal threat for any large fires.
Current focus is on potential for windier conditions toward the end of the week
along with better chance for some lightning in eastern Washington.
