Northwest Weather Highlights / Fire Potential:


A few lightning starts are possible in Northeast Oregon (PSA NW11) today and north central Washington (NW08) on Monday but not enough to strain initial attack capability. Gusty southwest winds will increase on Sunday over Southeast Oregon (PSAs NW07 and NW012) but the risk for new large fires remains low there as well. Otherwise, potential for new large fires is anticipated to be minimal through the coming work week across the geographic area.
