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

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

reporting adjustments.
Predictive Services Discussion: 

Light snow and mixed precipitation will continue into this afternoon across portions of the central and southern 

High Plains before drier weather returns for the weekend. Breezy and dry west to northwesterly winds will bring 

elevated to locally critical conditions to the Rio Grande Valley today as well. A strong cold front will move from 

the Mississippi Valley today to the East Coast this weekend, with widespread rain. Severe thunderstorms are 

possible from east Texas through the Southeast, with heavy rain and potential flooding from Mississippi into 

South Carolina. Another storm will move into the West on Sunday through mid-next week with rain, and snow 

above 4,000 to 6,000 feet, but much of central and southern California will only see scattered light precipitation. 

The storm will emerge onto the Plains next week, with precipitation likely to return to portions of the central Plains 

to the Lower and Mid-Mississippi Valley, while breezy and dry conditions are possible for portions of the southern 

Plains. However, much of the northern Plains into Minnesota, northern Wisconsin, and the Upper Peninsula of 

Michigan will remain dry the next week with above normal temperatures. Interior Alaska temperatures will remain 

well below normal for the next week, with periods of snow for southwest Alaska and possibly into south-central 

Alaska. Strong, but generally moist trade winds will continue across Hawai’i for the next week, with widespread 

showers likely late this weekend into mid-next week.
