Northwest Fire Potential Summary
Showery weather today with diminished shower activity through the weekend as a weak high pressure system moves in. Sunday may be dry in many locations, especially in Western Washington where offshore flow may warm things up fairly nicely. Another system starts bringing showers to the area Sunday night triggering the next round of wet weather. Widespread rain is likely Tuesday with showery weather through most of the work week. There is a hint of a high pressure ridge building in towards the end of the work week that may bring a change to the constant wet weather, stay tuned… Significant fire potential remains low.
