Northwest Fire Potential Summary
An upper level ridge is building into the Northwest creating hot and mainly dry conditions once again.
A thermal trough over southwestern Oregon will develop northward and shift slowly eastward Friday into the weekend. This will strengthen easterly offshore flow over western portions of the Northwest and also increase instability. The winds and instability may create flare-ups for ongoing incidents over southwestern Oregon and the Cascades.
The upper level ridge remains in place into next week. Monsoonal moisture is expected to drift northward into the Northwest later Sunday into next week. This moisture will combine with the hot and unstable conditions to potentially create areas of thunderstorms, mainly over southwestern Oregon as well as along and east of the Cascades.
