Northwest Fire Weather Summary
Some showers and isolated wet thundershowers linger on the east side today, while the west side will be dry. An unsettled pattern follows tomorrow through the work week with periodic light precipitation falling mainly over western Washington, northern Washington and to a lesser extent northwestern Oregon, favoring higher elevations. Winds will pick up tonight and become breezy to windy through the Kittitas Valley and eastern Columbia Gorge Tuesday. Temperatures will gradually warm up to seasonal in the second half of the week. See your local NWS fire weather planning forecast for details.
Northwest Fire Potential Summary
Winds Tuesday could boost fires in fine fuels in the Columbia Basin and central Oregon. Some starts are possible from wet thundershowers today but, the cool, moist environment will limit rapid growth potential. Overall, the potential for large fires in the region looks minimal through the coming week.
