From the old TV show – “Danger Will Robinson, Danger!” The fireworks may be over, but the threat of wildfires – both rural and urban – remains.
Conditions are certainly dry across the region. In western Washington alone, since the start of the year, interior regions from Portland, Oregon, to Bellingham, Wash., have a deficit of between six and 10 inches of rain. The coast is even worse, with precipitation deficits of 10 inches to nearly 18 inches below average. And the last measurable rain fell June 20 across much of the region.Wednesday and Thursday will offer the next wildfire ingredient – heat.
Thanks to low-level offshore flow toward the ocean today, relative humidities will also be quite low for additional dry conditions along with some gusty winds – ripe conditions for wildfires and wildfire growth. Wildfires have ignited elsewhere around the state, including the Underwood Fire in the Columbia Gorge and the Rest Haven Fire near Selah. Wildfire smoke has visited Western Washington in five of the last 6 years, primarily from fires elsewhere, including British Columbia, Eastern Washington, Oregon, and even California. Already this year, smoke from the historic Canadian wildfires has passed through the region at high altitudes.
