Something we have to track closely: we're forecasting high fire danger in Central and Eastern Washington on Sunday. We'll need to watch for any new fires that could pop up. If you're headed in that direction tomorrow, do everything in your power to avoid starting fires.

Isolated sprinkles remain a possibility on Sunday as temperatures cool further into the mid to upper 60s.
