The cool, wet spring meant a late start to summer weather. The grasses that grew well are now drying out, and some will soon be ready to burn.
Compared to recent years, what’s remarkable is how few acres have burned in Washington.
“We’ve had one fire 1,200 acres, that’s amazing,” said Matthew Dehr, a wildfire meteorologist with the Washington State Department of Natural Resources.“Fire danger is going to be creeping up this week,” Dehr said. Right now, it’s considered moderate in most of Western Washington and high or very high in Eastern Washington.
Dehr will watch for fires east of the Cascades at the end of this week and into the weekend after potential mountain thunderstorms and late-week winds.“We’re not expecting large, costly fires west of the Cascades in the next seven to 10 days,” Dehr said.
