Northwest Fire Potential Summary
Warming and drying through the week with east to northeast flow across the region. Offshore winds develop on the west side as a thermal trough strengthens but then switches to onshore for Wednesday and back to offshore later in the week. The warm and dry weather will likely come to an end sometime this weekend as a cold front moves through the region. Significant fire potential remains at normal levels through the forecast period.
