Northwest Fire Weather Summary
Warmer and drier conditions remain into Saturday as high pressure remains over the region. However, coastal northwest Washington will be clipped by fronts and rain today and Thursday. Morning fog and low stratus will have an increasingly difficult time mixing out the next few days in the western valleys. Ridges will remain warmer and drier. Eastern valleys will have better chances of mixing out each day. Low pressure and rain then return this weekend and likely for the first half of next week. Breezy to windy at times along the coast and locally elsewhere. Otherwise, no significant wind expected inland until low pressure returns Sunday and early next week.
Northwest Fire Potential Summary
The combination of lower fire danger and few ignitions means that new significant fires are unlikely. 100-hour and lighter fuels will become more supportive of spread with each passing day this week. PSAs NW05, NW06, and NW07 have 1000-hour fuel moistures which remain near or drier than significant fire thresholds. These PSAs remain slightly more likely to support a significant fire should a multi-week dry spell occur.
