Northwest Fire Weather Summary
A warming and drying trend starts today as an upper level ridge moves over the region and a surface thermal trough extends from California along the southern Oregon coast. Temperatures will gradually rise, and humidity fall into the weekend. Some weak systems will ride over the ridge Saturday and Sunday bringing a chance for precipitation mainly to western Washington and northwestern Oregon, and maybe some mountain showers on the east side. A dry weather pattern is likely to resume next week. See your local NWS forecasts for details in your area.
Northwest Fire Potential Summary
Significant fire potential will remain at or below seasonal normal through the week because of recent moist conditions, but fire danger indices will gradually increase with the onset of warmer, dry weather. Fire behavior concerns will be very low for the next few days.
