Northwest Fire Weather Summary
Cool and cloudy to partly cloudy conditions are
expected for much of the geographic area over the weekend with rain moving in
early Sunday. Most of the rain is anticipated to occur over western Washington
and northwest Oregon with lesser amounts moving east of the Cascades. Little
precipitation is expected for southwest Oregon. Isolated thunderstorms are
possible at times but strikes are not anticipated to be numerous.
Northwest Fire Potential Summary
Energy Release Component values are expected
to continue to decline over the geographic area, falling below average in most
PSAs by early next week. Southwest Oregon (PSA NW04) and southeast Oregon (PSA
NW12) will likely continue to have the highest fire danger because of the lack
of precipitation from incoming weather systems. Overall, initiation of new
large fires is low because of a lack of critical combinations of weather, fire
danger, and ignition sources.

Forecast, and National 7-Day Significant Fire Potential Forecast
