Northwest Fire Weather Summary
A cool, showery pattern will persist over the Pacific Northwest through much of the work week. Some thunderstorms are possible this afternoon/evening with lesser chances Tuesday limited mainly to higher elevations on the east side. Winds will be breezy at times and could get strong in the vicinity of storms. Next weekend could usher in a drier period, but models are uncertain at this time. Check your local NWS forecasts for details in your area.
Northwest Fire Potential Summary
The potential for development of significant fires will remain low through the week. The effect of cumulative precipitation for the last few days will limit active surface spread potential and keep fire behavior dampened down.
