Nevertheless, a few new ignitions may be possible where fuels remain at least locally receptive - mainly across portions of northeast Oregon. Please see the previous discussion below for more information on today`s fire weather forecast. ..Elliott.. 08/30/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1148 PM CDT Fri Aug 29 2025/ ...Synopsis...

An upper-level low will be off the coast of the Pacific Northwest, with precipitable water increasing across much of the region west of the Cascades. Conditions west of the Cascades will be much drier, but overall wind speeds are expected to be light with no thunderstorm activity expected. A few spotty Elevated conditions will be possible across portions of northern California across the Coastal Ranges where breezy northerly winds will overlap dry fuels. However, this threat appear to be too brief and localized to include any areas at this time. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
