Northwest Fire Weather Summary
This afternoon brings a chance for convective showers and thunderstorms to central and eastern Oregon, with stronger chances further south. General winds will be light, but it could get locally breezy this afternoon and evening, particularly near any storms. Showers potential move mostly out of the region Saturday but could return Sunday. Aside for a chance for isolated showers in Washington's northern mountains, the rest of the region should stay dry through the weekend. An upper level trough will approach early next week bringing cooler temperatures, increased winds, and some rain and mountain snow starting as early as Tuesday. Weather models continue to show variance in details, but unsettled weather seems likely to persist through next work week. Monitor NWS forecasts for evolving local details.
Northwest Fire Potential Summary
Significant fire potential remains at or below normal seasonal levels through the forecast period, although fire danger indices will continue to rise through the weekend. As the ridge breaks down early next week, we'll see a slight uptick in the potential for new significant fires.
