Northwest Fire Weather Summary
The Pacific Northwest will be warm and dry again today. Thunderstorm chances pick up again this afternoon/evening for southwestern and eastern Oregon, expanding into eastern Washington overnight and tomorrow. Some of the storms could be strong Saturday across central Oregon and central Washington. General winds will increase on the east side tomorrow and strong gusts are likely in the vicinity of thunderstorms. Cooler weather will follow with isolated showers Sunday and into the new week. Monitor NWS forecasts, watches and warnings for details in your area.
Northwest Fire Potential Summary
Significant fire potential will ramp up in central Washington (PSA NW10) Saturday as lightning and gusty winds combine over the Columbia Basin, where precipitation amounts will be lighter than in higher terrain. Other PSAs will experience some lightning ignitions mainly over the Cascades and the central parts of Oregon and Washington. That said, fire danger remains too low to significantly boost the risk of large, costly fires. The fire behavior potential will be highest in middle elevations with concentrations of fine fuels and duff. Holdover fires are a possibility from the lightning activity.
