Warmer than normal temperatures and low relatively humidity values will couple with increased winds Monday afternoon to early evening. Thus a Red Flag Warning has been issued. Use caution and avoid anything that could start a fire.
Monday will be warm and dry with temperatures in the 80s to low 90s. Winds will increase through the Cascade Gaps and into the western Columbia Basin late Monday afternoon and into the evening. Westerly wind gusts of 25-30 mph coupled with humidity levels near 20% will lead to elevated fire weather conditions. Locally stronger winds will channel down the Kittitas Valley impacting Ellensburg.
The Inland Northwest will start off warm and windy with dry conditions and by mid week a shift in the sensible weather will lead to cooler, breezy, and increasing chances for rain by Friday through next weekend.
