Northwest Fire Potential Summary
Warmer temperatures and increased winds today ahead of tomorrow’s thunderstorms. Today, large fire potential will be elevated in southern and Central Oregon due to continued hot, dry and windy conditions. The remainder of the Region will see reduced fire potential due to cooler temperatures and slightly increased moisture. Lightning may appear over sections of Eastern Oregontomorrow. It is not clear how much lightning the system will bring but fire activity may increase with any ignitions. Beyond tomorrow, the Region appears to be headed for a steady downturn in fire activity due to widespread rain and increasing moisture.
