Northwest Fire Weather Summary
A frontal system reached the coast last night and will bring widespread precipitation across Washington and the northern half of Oregon today. Rainfall will be heaviest in western Washington with lighter accumulations east of the Cascades. Continuous precipitation will be replaced by showers this afternoon, with showers diminishing into Wednesday. Expect warmer temperatures Wednesday and Thursday, along with fewer, more widely scattered showers. Thunderstorm potential returns to the region Thursday and Friday with some potential for strong storms on the east side Friday. While weather models are uncertain, cool, wet conditions appear to be in store for the weekend. 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.
