Northwest Fire Weather Summary
Warm/hot and dry across the region again today, but a weather system will approach this afternoon, increasing cloud cover and bringing a few showers to western Washington, and a chance for isolated showers and potentially dry thunderstorms to Oregon’s southern Cascades this afternoon and evening. More showers follow tomorrow, mainly over western Washington and higher elevations, 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. Winds will pick up again on Friday afternoon. Breezy, 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. Potential for dry lightning along with breezy winds raises 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.
