Northwest Fire Weather Summary
An active weather pattern will continue into next week as a series of disturbances traverse the region. This morning’s precipitation will continue across Washington and Western and Northern Oregon today before a drier start to Saturday. Another system brings more precipitation starting Saturday afternoon/evening and continuing into the early part of next week; this one is likely to include most of Eastern Oregon in the rain. Local winds will be gusty at times as the systems pass – check your NWS forecast for timing in your area.
Northwest Fire Potential Summary
The moist marine air mass and precipitation will moderate fire danger indices over the next several days. The risk for new significant fires will stay low for the foreseeable future.
