Northwest Fire Weather Summary
It will be hot this afternoon east of the Cascades, but a few degrees cooler than yesterday on the west side as an upper level trough approaches the coast. As the trough crosses the region tonight and Tuesday morning, it will bring breezy winds through mountain gaps and a chance for showers and possibly thunderstorms in Washington’s northern mountains. Relative humidity should recover from its afternoon low before the winds pick up, avoiding critical fire weather. Behind the trough, zonal flow will bring drying and warming for the rest of the work week. Friday brings a chance of thunderstorms to Southern Oregon.
Northwest Fire Potential Summary
The risk of new significant fires is at or below seasonal normal for the next few days. The fire danger indices will rise considerably through the week as hotter and drier weather sets into the region on both sides of the Cascades. Potential for lightning Friday after several days of drying could result in high risk of significant fires in Southern Oregon.
