Fire Weather Summary
The weather is expected to gradually
become cooler and wetter over the region, beginning first in western Washington
and spreading southward as a series of weak cold front fronts move ashore from
the Pacific in the next 7 days. The first moved through Washington Friday
evening and more will follow at intervals. The cumulative effect will be a drop
in temperatures and a boost in humidity across the region. Increased westerly
general winds.
Northwest
Fire Potential Summary
Fire danger indices will drop as the
cooler, cloudier, moister conditions take hold over the region for the next
week. The risk for development of new significant fires and flareups on
existing fires will drop correspondingly.
Note: The cooler temperatures and
precipitation over the Cascades may pose weather exposure risks for fire personal
during the coming week.
