Northwest Fire Potential Summary:
Minimal IA expected over the region
today and Thursday as lightning decreases significantly. Wind will be
increasing through gaps in the Cascades and ultimately across much of Eastern
Washington and northern portions of Eastern Oregon. Another low pressure system
will drop into the Pacific Northwest on the weekend that could bring more
lightning but confidence on details still lacking.
