Northwest Fire Potential Summary
A weak system will bring a chance for widespread showers and thunderstorms today with another weak wave on Wednesday, with drier and warmer conditions on Thursday. Given the mild temperatures and chance of rain, the overall potential for large fires remains low across the Northwest, and begins to increase toward weeks end.
