Northwest Fire Weather Summary

Wet weather is expected across the west side on Friday then over the whole Region during the weekend. Several frontal systems will push across the area. Expect gusty general winds at times. The prime locations for gusty winds will be mainly over the coast and central Washington late Friday and then mainly over eastern Oregon on Saturday. Refer to your NWS forecasts for details for your area.

---

Northwest Fire Potential Summary

Significant fire potential is effectively nil due to continued wet weather and dropping fire danger. If any units are attempting burn projects on Saturday be sure to request and review spot forecasts if wind could pose a problem, particularly in central Oregon and parts of central Washington. Longer range forecasts suggest a return to drier weather by midweek next week.
