Northwest Fire Weather Summary

Cool and moist air will continue over the region on Friday before gradually warming back toward normal during the weekend. Some wet thundershowers will continue mainly over higher elevations of the Cascades and east side. General winds across the landscape appear at or below normal through the weekend.

Northwest Fire Potential Summary

Fire danger continues to decline due to the cooler, wetter pattern. Lightning strikes will result in additional ignitions and holdovers are likely to show over the next week, but rapid growth does not appear likely based on the combination of decreased fire danger and lack of critical weather patterns. The exception will be in areas of fine fuels that are prone to locally windy conditions.
