Northwest Fire Potential Summary
Significant fire potential remains inhibited as widespread showers are expected through most of the region. Southern portions of Oregon will remain cooler today but with only trace amounts of precipitation. No lightning is expected. While some gusty winds are possible, fire potential will remain low throughout the region. Warming conditions could bring heightened fire danger towards the end of the week particularly in southern Oregon PSAs.
