Tomorrow will be the first critical fire weather day of the 2026 wildfire season. With wind gusts up to 45mph, crews will be working hard to keep existing fires contained. Please do not give them another fire to chase after. LEARN MORE ➡️ dnr.wa.gov/wildfire-res... #wawx #wawildfire

Getting the Tri-Cities #SmokeReady at Richland’s Live @ 5! Come say hi! #SmokeReadyWeek @wadnr.bsky.social

Starting to have moderate-high confidence for our first critical fire weather day of the season east of the Cascades on Tuesday (and potentially elevated-critical Wednesday and Thursday). Grasses are almost fully cured, and south-facing aspects are likely available to burn. #wawx #wawildfire

Seeing our first air quality impacts from wildfires this season near Goldendale and The Dalles, primarily due to the #TuleFire and the #OIEFire. #wawx #wawildfire

Heavy use of aviation resources today as crews work to prepare for Tuesday's winds. Red Flag Warnings are up across the Columbia Basin tomorrow. I talked more about smoke and fire danger on the Washington Smoke Blog ➡️ wasmoke.blogspot.com #wawx #wawildfire

The final theme for #SmokeReadyWeek is Establish A Clean Room. Portable Air Cleaners and DIY box fans are great, but they can only circulate so much air. If smoke is getting into your home, designate a space to run these devices to keep the air clean! #SmokeReady #wawx

It's #SmokeReadyWeek Day 4 and our theme today is Keep Supplies on Hand. Stock up on N95 masks, HVAC filters, medications, activities and games, snacks, anything you might need if the smoke has you staying inside. The best time to do this is before smoke arrives! #SmokeReady #wawx

Crucial next 24 hours on the active fires with a wind shift expected late Monday. Critical fire weather conditions will threaten containment lines on Tuesday #wawx #wawildfire

Sneaky fire weather setup Monday as a marine push helps initiate westerly flow across the Cascades ahead of the dry cold front on Tuesday. Monday will be the hottest day along the east slopes and with RH dipping into the teens and low 20s, new starts could certainly move quickly. #wawx #wawildfire

New emerging wildfire incident near the SR-14/US-97 interchange near Maryhill. Gusty westerly winds are expected to pick up in the next hour or two. #wawx #wawildfire
