Weather Summary: Friday, July 23, 2021 1000 hrs. Mary Butwin – NWS Seattle

Today/Tonight: Conditions overall will remain very dry for the east side with humidity generally running around 10-20%, particularly for the southerly facing slopes. Many lower inland elevations west of the Cascades are seeing humidity into the 30-40% range as little marine air made it inland last night. Breezy conditions are expected on the east side of the Cascades, particularly through the north central region, as a very weak front moves through the area. Generally weak instability on the East side of the state with mixing heights 5-10k feet.

Winds generally ease overnight. Good to excellent humidity recovery expected for the west side while generally moderate recovery conditions will set up on the east side tonight. The higher terrain in the Blue and Selkirk Mountains.

Please refer to local NWS warnings and forecasts for specific details. *More information below*

Burn Restrictions/Announcements:

July 22, 2021: Fire Danger Ratings, Industrial Fire Precaution Levels Rise in Eastern WA

The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and its partners are increasing Fire Danger Ratings (FDRs) and Industrial Fire Precaution Levels (IFPLs) on DNR-protected lands in parts of eastern Washington. Effective 12:01 a.m., Friday, July 23:

 Fire danger will increase from Very High to Extreme in the Chelan, Foothills, Highlands, Kaniksu, Lower Yakima, Methow, Upper Yakima and Valley FDRAs.  Industrial Fire Precaution Level (IFPL) will increase from Level 2 to Level 3 in zone: 680.

July 20, 2021: DNR Closes Eastern WA Lands to Recreation Due to Extreme Fire Danger

This temporary closure will apply to DNR-managed state lands, conservation areas, community forests and any associated roads, trails, campgrounds, recreational sites or recreational facilities. The decision to close recreation and all public access on DNR-managed lands east of the Cascades is in addition to the burn ban that Commissioner Franz enacted earlier this month on the 13 million acres of forestlands under DNR fire protection. The burn ban will remain in effect through at least September 30. Campfires also remain banned on DNR-managed lands statewide due to ongoing fire danger.

July 6, 2021: Inslee declares wildfire state of emergency, limited burn ban

Gov. Jay Inslee today declared a statewide state of emergency relating to the growing risk of wildfires, including a statewide prohibition on most outdoor and agricultural burning through September 30, 2021. Although this order includes some burn ban exceptions (for example, the use of gas-fueled stoves in some circumstances and also small, recreational campfires in contained structures on a person’s private property) nothing in the order supersedes more restrictive provisions by a lawful authority, like city or county governments. The proclamation also activates the Washington National Guard to assist in wildfire suppression efforts. Read the full proclamation here.

JULY 1, 2021: Commissioner Franz Enacts Statewide DNR Burn Ban

Prompted by increased fire danger due to prolonged drought, Fourth of July fireworks, increased temperatures and winds, the order bans all outdoor burning on all forest lands under DNR fire protection, including campfires.

Additional information:  Residents who see smoke should call 911 to report the fire.

Satellite image from 0731 hrs. today Outlook: A weak and dry cold front is continuing to move through Eastern Washington, resulting in breezy conditions. Westerly flow aloft and weak ridging over the region Saturday through Monday is expected and will cause temperatures to warm. With highs in the upper 90s expected for the eastern portion of the state this weekend. However, areas experiencing dense smoke could see lower high temperatures and lower mixing heights due to a decrease in daytime heating. A broad upper low then becomes established in the Gulf of Alaska to start bringing southwesterly flow aloft back to the PacNW. This could cause smoke from California fires to move into Washington state next week. Moist monsoonal air moving in from the south is expected to increase cloudiness throughout the state starting later Monday. While we are currently not expecting any thunderstorms, we can not completely rule out the chance of them on the East side quite yet. No beneficial precipitation is expected for the next 7 days throughout the state.

Washington DNR Fuels Status 7/23/2021

Vaughn Cork Fuels Analyst

Narrative: The holdover threat from thunderstorms in the eastern counties should be essentially gone by this point. Connectivity issues with the GOES West satellite caused several RAWS stations to fail to report. Some westside indices were especially thrown off. The area of most concern over the weekend is the northern tier from the Methow valley to the Idaho border where fuel conditions are most severe.

Eastern Washington – Todays cooler weather will help to decrease intensity a bit, and that should keep through Saturday. By Sunday with the heat and breeze back, we will see fire danger reverse and begin climbing again into the middle of next week. Fire activity can subsequently increase. Expect extreme fire behavior for any new start and plan tactics accordingly. Long range spotting up to and exceeding 1 mile has been reported, and transitioning from surface to canopy is common.

Western Washington – Onshore flow is expected to continue through the middle of next week at least, keeping the large fire potential low overall. Low afternoon RH values from Olympia, down to the Oregon border will create more active fire along the southern I-5 corridor today. Those RH values look to moderate into the weekend decreasing that threat. Exposed sites can burn with high intensity and stumps and deep duff will pose mopup problems.
