Northwest Fire Potential Summary
The most pronounced warming and drying will move into central Oregon and Washington today then eastward on Sunday. Light winds are expected. On Sunday instability and isolated thunderstorms are possible east of the Cascades in Oregon but not enough new ignitions are expected to cause a high risk of new large fires. Overall, dry weather is expected through next week with a continuing rise in fire danger.
