| episode_narrative | An upper level low pressure system sat just offshore of the southern Oregon coastline. Another deep low pressure system pushing into the Gulf of Alaska acted as a kicker to eject the upper level low pressure system offshore across the region. Increased southerly flow into the region ahead of the upper level low resulted in increased moisture and instability at mid-levels of the atmosphere across the east slopes of the northern Cascades during the late afternoon hours of September 8th. Thunderstorms developed across this area, which pushed eastward across eastern Washington through the overnight hours as the low ejected across the region. Dry conditions at low levels and fast moving storms resulted in dry lightning that started a total of 110 wildfires across the area. |
| event_narrative | The Okanogan wildfire complex composed of three fires that burned on the hillsides along the Methow Valley. Dry conditions resulted in these fires burning into the month of October. By the end of September, these fires had consumed a total acreage of 6,169 acres. Road closures were included on Gold Creek Road (FS4340-100) and Forest Service Road 4330-100. |
