A cold front is expected to pass through the region, though conditions aren't expected to be as bad as last Sunday, when several major fires broke out in eastern Washington.
The new front coming Saturday is expected to bring warm, breezy conditions, with sustained winds of 10 to 20 miles per hour and gusts up to 30 mph, and relative humidities of 11 to 21 percent. Temperatures are expected to be in the mid-80s around Bonners Ferry.
While no red flag warning has yet been issued, outdoor burning is not advised while the watch is in effect, and extra precautions with fire should be taken by those camping or traveling in the back country.
