Northwest Fire Potential Summary

Fire danger will continue to rise over the geographic area today due to a hot and dry air-mass moving over the region. On Sundayevening lightning fires are expected over sections of southern Oregon, tracking north and east Sunday night and into Monday. The combination of rising fire danger and lightning will be most focused in Central and South Central Oregon which have been designated as at High Risk for large wildfires for late Sunday through Monday. Monday night and Tuesday a cooling trend with increasing westerly winds will set in. Initial attack activity for the region will likely increase into the moderate category over the next few days.
