Northwest Fire Potential Summary
Continued warm and dry today with windy and unstable conditions in Eastern Oregon and Eastern Washington promoting elevated risk of significant fires. Moisture will move into Central Washington and continue west of the Cascades today which could produce isolated thunderstorms. Potential fire conditions moderate through the rest of the week as a weather system cools the region and brings an increasing potential for showers and thunderstorms. Widespread rain should be in place across Western Oregon and all of Washington byThursday. Significant fire potential continues to decrease with the arrival of the much colder rainy pattern.
