ESFBOI
Showers will become more numerous across the region Monday and
Tuesday with isolated thunderstorms expected. Some showers and
thunderstorms may produce moderate to heavy rain. Areas burned
by recent wildfires that are impacted by higher intensity rainfall
will be susceptible to mudslides and debris flows, including
State Highway 21 in the Wapiti Fire area.
Persons in or near recent burned areas should monitor weather
conditions and forecasts. Mudslides and debris flows in burned
areas can occur with little to no warning.

Hello NW Fire Science Readers,
My hope for this newsletter is that you find an interesting article and learn something new, however small, without getting overwhelmed by the sheer amount of new articles in the list below. There is A LOT of them, no doubt. There are multiple articles looking at fire and spotted owls, social vulnerability, Indigenous Fire Stewardship, air quality, project strategizing, and so much more.
We also have a new research brief to share that summarizes the findings of two new papers looking at historical Indidgenous fire stewardship in the Western Cascades. Plus the recap on all the upcoming events, new resources, and recent media coverage on fire and fire science topics as usual. Just a reminder that while we don't track current fire info in these monthly newsletters, under the "in the news" section below you can find resources for learning more about ongoing fires from sources that update multiple times a day. We hope you are all staying safe and healthy this summer.
Finally, we have a couple new opportunities that we are on the verge of sharing out, including a 3-day virtual workshop on equity and environmental justice in fire, and a webinar series on "Transforming Post-Wildfire Recovery in the Northwest". Stay tuned because we'll be sharing these both with you in another email within the week!
Happy reading, and as always, please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, resources to highlight in future newsletters, or other news to share; we are always happy to hear from you!
Autumn Ellison
NWFSC Program Coordinator

the region combined with forecasted conditions will cause air
quality to reach unhealthy levels. Intermittent smoke issue are also
likely to impact Crook County.

...SCATTERED STRONG THUNDERSTORMS TODAY INTO THE EVENING...
...BREEZY WINDS OUTSIDE OF STORMS IN SOUTHERN ZONES...
.A strong upper level low will create conditions very favorable
for the development of thunderstorms through this evening. Storms
have formed in eastern OR early this morning and will move into
SW ID around noon MDT. After this first round moves through,
additional storms should form and then continue to move northeast
throughout the region. Scattered lightning is likely. Strong to
severe outflow gusts are possible near storms. Heavy rain rates on
burn scars pose a localized flash flood and debris flow risk.
Storms weaken to showers Wednesday night and chances of wetting
rains increases through Thursday.
* Thunderstorms...Scattered to isolated.
* Outflow Winds...50 to 60 mph.
* Timing...From noon MDT /11 AM PDT/ today to 9 PM MDT /8 PM
PDT/ this evening.
