Wildland firefighters received some favorable weather conditions over the weekend, including precipitation throughout the West Coast, Pacific Northwest as well as the northern Great Basin and northern California.
Although cooler weather conditions are occurring, it's important to remember wildland fire prevention. Eighty percent of all wildland fires are caused by humans. These fires can be prevented by being aware of the conditions around you. Drought remains a factor throughout the West, so make sure your campfires are dead out, don't park on dry vegetation, and practice shooting safety by using the proper ammunition.
An upper-level trough will move over the northern half of the West with troughing extending southward over the entire West Coast. Upper-level troughing will be over much of the eastern US, and isolated to scattered thunderstorms are likely from Oklahoma into the Ozarks and in the coastal Carolinas, with showers in the Ohio Valley to western Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Precipitation will continue for much of the Pacific Northwest, northern California, and spread into the Northern Rockies, with the heaviest precipitation focused on the northern Sierra through Lassen NP. The heaviest precipitation will likely occur this morning, with debris flows possible on recent burn scars, including the Dixie Fire, where 1-2” of rain is expected. Snow will fall at the highest elevations of the northern Sierra into the central Sierra, the Cascades, portions of the Northern Rockies. http://www.predictiveservices.nifc.gov/outlooks/outlooks.htm
