Fire weather watch Sunday

September 15, 2023

The National Weather Service, Spokane, has issued a fire weather watch for North Idaho and parts of eastern Washington, in effect Sunday afternoon and evening as a dry cold front pushes across the region, bringing breezy conditions and low relative humidity conducive to quick wildfire starts and spread.

West-southwest winds gusting to 30 miles per hour are predicted, with a relative humidity of 12- to 24-percent.

A fire weather watch means that critical fire weather conditions are forecast to occur.
