Northwest Fire Weather Summary
Expect cool temperatures and periodic precipitation today, falling mainly over western Washington, northern Washington, and northwestern Oregon, favoring coastal areas and higher terrain inland. Winds will be lighter than yesterday, but still breezy through Cascade gaps. Showers will decrease tomorrow, becoming more restricted to western Washington as well as along the Canadian border to the east. The region will be mainly dry by Friday and remain so through the weekend, but with some chances for afternoon mountain showers and maybe thunderstorms each day. Temperatures should warm up to near seasonal normal in the second half of the week. See your local NWS forecasts for details.
Northwest Fire Potential Summary
Winds today could spread fires in fine fuels in the Cascades’ lee-side valleys and around the Columbia Basin. Mild temperatures and moist air will keep the potential for significant fires in the region low through the week. Independence Day activities could lead to boosted ignitions this weekend.
