Northwest Fire Weather Summary

Fire weather conditions are expected to remain near normal for late June across the geographic area. No unusual extremes of wind, temperature, or humidity are expected Sunday through Tuesday. Beginning Tuesday and Wednesday showers and thundershowers may become likely over Central and Eastern Oregon and Washington. This will bring some lightning fire starts but the cooling trend will work in the favor of initial attack. Monitor NWS fire weather planning forecasts for details.

---

Northwest Fire Potential Summary

Fire danger is expected to hold steady or decline for the next 10 days. The potential for large fires appears low in most areas due to lack of ignitions or very strong winds for the majority of the region. Lightning starts will become more likely on Tuesday and last through Friday as a deep upper level low pressure trough traverses the area. Even with lightning starts, the cool and moist conditions by then are expected to limit growth potential and work in the favor of initial attack next week. Occasional gusty winds in PSAs NW05 and NW10 could boost potential for human-caused fires mainly in light fuels.
