Northwest Fire Weather Summary
Showers will taper off today becoming restricted mainly to higher elevations in western Washington, northwest Oregon and along the Canadian border by this afternoon. Breezy winds are likely around the Columbia Basin again this afternoon. Another system will move in from the Pacific tonight and Tuesday bringing more precipitation across Washington and northern Oregon. Expect warmer temperatures Wednesday and Thursday, along with fewer, more widely scattered showers. Thunderstorm potential returns to the region Thursday and Friday. Check NWS forecasts for details in your area.
Northwest Fire Potential Summary
The potential for significant fires will remain at or below normal early-June levels through the forecast period. PSA NW10 (Columbia Basin) will see some elevated risk Friday with thunderstorms and associated winds increasing potential for ignitions and fire spread. For the next couple of days fire behavior will be on the low end of the spectrum due to the humid environment and cooler temperature.
