Northwest Fire Weather Summary
High pressure aloft will warm and dry the region today and tomorrow. A weather system will approach late Tuesday into Wednesday. Tuesday afternoon/evening brings a chance for showers and isolated thunderstorms to Oregon’s southern Cascades. Showers follow mainly over western Washington Wednesday along with potential for showers and isolated thunderstorms for eastern Oregon and the eastern edge of Washington. Wednesday will also find breezy winds through mountain gaps. Warm, dry weather returns Thursday into Friday. While there is some disagreement among weather models, cooler and wetter weather seems likely next weekend.
Northwest Fire Potential Summary
Significant fire potential remains at or below seasonal normal levels through the week. Wednesday’s breezy winds and potential for lightning raise some concern for grass fires in areas that have received less beneficial rain lately. Fire behavior concerns will be concentrated in fine fuels with exposed slopes and accumulations of thatch. Due to good humidity recovery burn periods should remain short.
