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

A strong cold front will move through the Lower Mississippi Valley, Southeast, Appalachians and East Coast 

today with much colder air behind it and below normal temperatures near and east of the Mississippi River for 

the weekend. Widespread rain is forecast in much of the Great Lakes and Northeast today, with showers 

continuing into the weekend, but little if any rainfall will fall along the front south of the Ohio River. Breezy and 

dry northwesterly winds behind the front will develop across much of the Plains into the Mid-Mississippi Valley 

today, then move into much of the Mississippi, Ohio, and Tennessee Valleys and Southeast for the weekend. 

Elevated to locally critical fire weather conditions are likely to develop across much of the Southeast south of 

the Tennessee River this weekend where fuels remain dry. 

Well above normal temperatures will continue across California through the weekend, with some relief from the 

heat likely along the immediate coast, especially Sunday. Above normal temperatures are also likely to spread 

through the remainder of the West, although anomalies will not be as great as those in California. Conditions 

are likely to remain dry across the West except for isolated afternoon showers and thunderstorms over the 

higher terrain of Arizona.
