...HOT, DRY, AND UNSTABLE CONDITIONS FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY...
.A strong ridge of high pressure will bring a period of hot and
dry conditions to the central and northern Cascades of Washington
this weekend. The ridge will shift east of the Cascades early
next week with the atmosphere becoming more unstable at that
time. Increased instability with hot and dry conditions will
bring the potential for critical fire weather conditions. In
addition, we are monitoring the potential for isolated
thunderstorms on Tuesday that could result in new fire starts.
