Wind gust of 25mph and RH of 25% or less will create the potential for elevated fire danger. As the low continues to trek inland Friday, the Inland northwest will see southerly winds usher in maritime air, producing cool air advection...a rare phenomenon for our area. What that means for us is a drop in temperatures and a rise in dewpoints and the potential for showers Friday evening and overnight into Saturday.
