Northwest Fire Potential Summary:

A weak upper trough will push across northern CA today and could give Southeast Oregon a few showers or possibly an isolated thunderstorm. A second weather system will drop southward out of Canada Friday night and Saturday. This system will result in fairly strong north winds in Eastern Washington on Saturday. It is also likely to result in showers and maybe a few thundershowers in areas over and east of the Cascade crest.
