Northwest Fire Weather Summary
An upper ridge is established over the Pacific Northwest. Dry weather is expected with bouts of gusty easterly winds over the Cascades and much of the west side during the weekend and next week. Check local NWS fire weather planning forecasts.
Northwest Fire Potential Summary
Dry, gusty east winds over the weekend will boost fire danger over PSAs in the Cascades and on the west side but insufficient new ignitions are anticipated. The potential for new large fires is expected to remain low. Units with planned or ongoing prescribed fires should be aware of the potential for gusty east winds.
