Fires overnight in Oregon

Dozens of new fires flared in the Northwest over the past 24 hours, but local crews were able to contain all of them.

And on the weather front, some wet news: A cold front is moving toward Washington and northern Oregon on Wednesday morning, bringing light rain to parts of western Washington and northwest Oregon.

The moisture won't fall too far inland, however. On the east side, forecasters expect sunny, dry conditions. Firefighters are bracing for a fresh rash of lightning on Thursday and Friday.

Several big fires continue to burn, though they're largely in a holding pattern. Here are the biggest:

• The Douglas complex north of Glendale burned 50 more acres in the past 24 hours, scorching nearly 46,000 acres of timber overall. The complex remains 50 percent contained.
• The Cedar Mountain fire north of Rome, which charred another 2,000 acres since Tuesday, has now scorched 26,000 acres. But it is 100 percent contained.
• The Big Windy northwest of Grants Pass has burned nearly 15,500 acres and is 15 percent contained.
• The Whiskey complex east of Tiller added nearly 200 acres in the past 24 hours, scorching more than 11,000 acres. But firefighters are making progress as well. The complex is now 55 percent contained.
• The GC complex north of John Day is now 95 percent contained at just over 12,000 acres. 
  
• The Milepost 10 fire south of Malago, Wash., is now 90 percent contained at nearly 6,000 acres.
