Northwest Fire Potential Summary:

Westerly winds will increase in the Columbia Basin and Columbia Gorge on Friday but critical combinations of low humidity and fire danger are not expected. Winds will reverse to northeast or east on Saturday as a different weather pattern moves over Oregon and Washington. This will result in showers and possibly a few thundershowers. Large fire potential remains low.

Northwest Fire Potential Summary:

A weak upper trough will push across northern CA today and could give Southeast Oregon a few showers or possibly an isolated thunderstorm. A second weather system will drop southward out of Canada Friday night and Saturday. This system will result in fairly strong north winds in Eastern Washington on Saturday.  It is also likely to result in showers and maybe a few thundershowers in areas over and east of the Cascade crest.
