Northwest Fire Potential
Summary
With low pressure moving into the area from
the north beginning today through the weekend, an increase in initial attack
activity can be expected from lightning activity. Although large fire potential
remains seasonally low it is on the rise from the warming and drying trend of
previous days. Gusty conditions associated with thunderstorms will be of
concern in the areas with light and flashy fuels.
