"Conditions may trend wetter toward mid-June as some storms move in from the Pacific," Buckingham said.

"Because of a lack of storms with big rain this spring, coastal areas of Washington and Oregon have trended abnormally dry, and it is getting worse," AccuWeather Meteorologist Brandon Buckingham said. As a storm near the jet stream level of the atmosphere drifts northward later this week, thunderstorms with little or no rain may set off lightning-induced wildfires over parts of the Northwest.
