Disclaimer: Cumulative acres showing in the Active Incident Resource Summary Table may not be 

reflected in the YTD statistics due to a lag in units completing YTD adjustments in the SIT/209 

Application. Otherwise, changes in agency YTD fires and acres reflect more accurate mapping or 

reporting adjustments.
Predictive Services Discussion: 

An upper low will bring widespread showers, with snow above 6,000 to 8,000 feet, to much of the Southwest, 

southern Great Basin, and Colorado Rockies through early next week. Offshore winds in California will become 

light, but dry conditions will continue there through early next week as well. High pressure aloft will bring above 

normal temperatures to the northern half of the West this weekend through mid-next week. A slow-moving cold 

front will bring widespread moderate to heavy rain to south and central Texas and the Gulf Coast this 

weekend, while lighter precipitation, with a period of drier conditions to the southern Appalachians and 

Southeast through mid-next week. Fast-moving cold fronts are expected for the Great Lakes, Northeast, and 

Mid-Atlantic keeping temperatures near to below normal, but any precipitation will be light. Late next week, 

Pacific storms will begin to affect the northwestern US, but much of the northern Plains into the northern Great 

Lakes will remain dry. A warming trend is forecast for much of Alaska the next week, especially the western 

Interior, while relatively dry trade winds are forecast for Hawai’i through mid-next week.
