Northwest Fire Weather Summary
High pressure aloft will keep the Pacific Northwest warm and mostly dry today, with some light showers possible and isolated thundershowers in Central Oregon. The weather pattern will shift to cooler and wetter conditions late Friday into Sunday. More thunderstorms are possible for most of Oregon by late Friday, with activity increasing and coverage expanding into northeastern Oregon and eastern Washington Friday night and Saturday. Some of the storms could be strong and gusty winds will accompany these storms. Storms should diminish through the day Sunday for a drier start to next week, but it appears it will be short-lived with an active pattern bringing periodic precipitation through the week. Check your NWS forecasts for local details.
Northwest Fire Potential Summary
Significant fire potential will remain at or below normal for the week, but lightning following a few days of warm, dry weather will boost potential for ignition and fire behavior. Open aspects or south slope areas with fine fuels, thatch or duff have the potential to support active fire behavior.
