Changes in some agency YTD acres reflect more accurate mapping or reporting adjustments.
Predictive Services Discussion:

Dry and breezy conditions will continue across parts of southeast California, the southern Great Basin, 

southwest Colorado, and northern portions of the Southwest leading to elevated and locally critical fire weather 

conditions. Hot, dry, and unstable conditions will continue across parts of the Desert Southwest and Pacific 

Northwest. Isolated dry thunderstorms remain possible along and east of the Cascades into the northwest 

Great Basin and parts of the northern Rockies. Additionally, isolated to scattered mixed wet and dry 

thunderstorms are expected in southeast Arizona into central New Mexico. Scattered thunderstorms are likely 

in much of the Rockies, along and east of the Divide, while severe thunderstorms are likely on much of the 

central and southern High Plains into the southern Plains, Lower/Mid-Mississippi Valley, and Ohio Valley. 

Scattered to widespread thunderstorms are expected along the Gulf Coast through much of the Southeast and 

up the East Coast. Scattered showers with cooler temperatures and higher relative humidity will spread across 

much of Alaska, but parts of southeast Alaska, including the panhandle, will remain warmer and drier.
