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

As an upper-level trough exits the West, gusty winds and low relative humidity will lead to critical fire weather 

conditions and low to moderate significant fire potential from southern New Mexico and southwest Texas through 

much of the southern High Plains today. Residual dry and breezy conditions are likely in portions of southern 

Wisconsin as well. Severe weather is likely on the central Plains and in the Carolinas today shifting to the 

Mississippi Valley tomorrow, with thunderstorms from the Gulf Coast through the Great Lakes. Heavy rain is 

likely in portions of the Great Lakes and along the central Gulf Coast through the weekend. Lingering dry and 

breezy conditions, mostly post-frontal, are likely on portions of the southern and central Plains and in the southern 

Rockies through the weekend. 

Another upper-level trough will approach the West late this weekend and move over the northern half of the West 

by mid-next week. Cooler temperatures and precipitation will accompany the trough, but widespread or heavy 

precipitation is not anticipated except along and west of the Cascades and in portions of the northern Rockies 

west of the Divide next week. Dry and windy conditions are likely in portions of the Great Basin Sunday spreading 

to the southern half of the Intermountain West and on the southern and central Plains Monday through 

Wednesday. Elevated to critical fire weather conditions and moderate to high-risk significant fire potential are 

expected across portions of these areas, especially in the Southwest and on the Plains, next week. Dry and 

breezy post-frontal conditions are forecast along and east of the central and southern Appalachians early to midnext week likely resulting in elevated fire weather conditions and moderate to possibly high-risk significant fire 

potential.
