Northwest Fire Potential Summary
Fire danger is expected to rise steadily through the weekend across the geographic area. General winds will gradually decrease for the majority of the area and a hot spell over the weekend will boost fire danger above average east of the Cascades. However, no critical fire potential combinations are foreseen through the weekend. Regional preparedness level likely to remain at 1 until next week.
