Northwest Fire Potential Summary:

Large fire potential is decreasing rapidly as fire danger indices decline. Showers and wet thundershowers are possible across sections of the region with cooler and cloudier weather just about everywhere else on Sunday. Lightning holdover fires are likely but otherwise expect a downturn in new ignitions. West winds will continue over the wind prone areas near the Columbia Basin.
