Fireworks are a bad idea right now
To the people setting off fireworks- it is very dry and likely to ignite right now. Please don't.
From the National Weather Service:
.FIRE WEATHER...Elevated fire weather concerns will continue
today as a warming and drying trend peaks. Relative humidities
will drop into the upper 20s and 30s over portions of the
western Cascades and lowlands south of the Puget Sound, though
an approaching system will bring onshore flow tonight with
healthy overnight humidity recoveries.
A frontal system will cross western Washington Saturday morning,
bringing a chance of wetting rain to the northern Olympic Peninsula
and North Cascades, alongside breezy winds area-wide and increased
onshore flow. Ridgetops in the Cascades will see wind gusts of 30 to
40 mph Saturday afternoon, though incoming cooler and wetter
conditions will prevent humidities from reaching critical levels. In
addition, the North Cascades will see a 20% chance of thunderstorms
developing midday Saturday, though widespread lightning is not
expected with this system.
A ridge will build over the western US during the first half of next
week, bringing additional warming and drying to the region. Minimum
relative humidity values will drop into the 20s and 30s for most
inland areas, bringing elevated fire weather concerns. Surface flow
is also expected to turn offshore, though flow will be fairly weak.
Northerly and easterly winds at times may bring in smoke from
wildfires across eastern Washington and British Columbia.
