Northwest Fire Weather Summary

Less windy east of the Cascades today as a deep upper low pressure system settles over the region. This will bring further cooling to the region with showers and wet thundershowers. Showers and thundershowers retreat eastward on Monday with some rebound in warming coming during the week.  See your local NWS fire weather planning forecast for details.


Northwest Fire Potential Summary

Winds decrease on Sunday as cooling and moistening increases over the region. This will diminish the fire threat in the Columbia Basin and central Oregon. Some starts are possible from wet thundershowers on Sunday and Monday but, the cool, moist environment will prevent rapid growth potential. Overall, the potential for large fires in the region looks minimal through the coming week.
