General winds are expected to increase east of the Cascades Friday or Saturday with that system and remain breezy through Monday.


Northwest Fire Potential Summary

Potential for significant fire will remain at or below seasonal normal through the week. Fine fuels on exposed slopes will continue to provide some spread potential.
