Northwest Fire Potential Summary
Gusty ridge and gap winds, mainly along and east of the Cascades, will persist into Thursday evening behind a departing upper level trough. A return to hot, mainly dry, and unstable conditions is expected Friday into early next week as an upper level ridge builds back into the Northwest. Significant fire potential remains elevated in most areas and will increase to high risk due to burning conditions in Southwest and Southcentral Oregon this weekend.
