Northwest Fire Weather Summary
Residual showery activity will diminish through the day leading into a drier weekend.  Temperatures will remain below normal for the beginning of March.  While there will be little in the way of new precipitation, some locations on the east side could see some blowing snow through the weekend due to increased winds. Precipitation is likely to be back by the middle part of next week for many areas.

Northwest Fire Potential Summary
Fire danger indices remain low and the wet and cold conditions will keep risk of wildfires or burn escapes correspondingly low, despite the potential for elevated winds. Check local NWS planning forecasts or request spot forecasts to verify daily prescription parameters.
