Northwest Fire Potential Summary
There is a slight chance of isolated thunderstorms over eastern Washington and NE Oregon with breezy conditions continuing east of the Cascades. A strong upper level trough will move into the region late this week and over the weekend bringing thunderstorms and stronger winds, but also showers and higher RH. The overall potential for large fires and high risk events remains low across the Northwest.
