Where do we stand so far for October? Temperatures have been near to slightly warmer than normal, while precipitation has been on the low side especially in Central WA. But two rounds of precipitation are forecast by months end - Oct 27/28 and again Oct 30/31. #wawx #idwx

[WA Emergency Management @waEMD]

We've been lucky not to have a big earthquake rattle our shelves & lives in recent memory. Today, we encourage you to drop, cover & hold on for the Great Washington #ShakeOut.

The @waShakeOut is 10:17 a.m.

Well above normal temperatures will continue across the Inland Northwest through early next week. Expect a change by the middle of next week, however, with cooler temperatures and widespread precipitation anticipated. #idwx #wawx

As hunting season begins, some areas are off-limits due to wildfire efforts. Stay out of restricted zones to protect yourself and firefighters!
👉 Active crews/hotspots make these areas dangerous.
🔴 Check local restrictions before heading out for a safe season! #HuntResponsibly

[National Interagency Fire Center @NIFC_Fire]

#KnowBeforeYouFly! There have been 21 reported public drone incursions this #FireYear2024. When aerial operations must shut down because of these incursions, wildfires can grow in size which greatly hampers firefighting efforts. If you fly, we can't.

🔥 Don’t Let the Rain Fool You! 🔥

While cooler temps and rain may bring relief, wildfire danger is still real. 🌲🔥 Stay alert, follow fire safety protocols, & don’t become complacent! Every action counts in preventing the next wildfire. 🌲💧 #WildfireSafety #StayVigilant #PNW
