Northwest Fire Weather Summary
Our dry weather has come to an end, as the first of a series of storms came onshore overnight. Storms will continue into the Thanksgiving weekend with precipitation affecting all parts of the region at times. A dry spell looks likely for the weekend, before another round of storms brings more bouts of precipitation through much of next week. Winds could get strong at times, especially along the coast and around the Harney Basin. Check NWS forecasts for the latest details and timing for your area.

Northwest Fire Potential Summary
With substantial precipitation coming to the Pacific Northwest, the potential for new significant fires will remain minimal across the region.
