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

Dry and breezy southwest winds will create areas of elevated fire weather conditions across the northern Great 

Basin and portions of the northern Rockies, Columbia Basin, and southern Plains. Hot temperatures will 

continue across the Southwest, Plains, Lower Mississippi Valley, and Southeast. Isolated dry 

thunderstorms will continue this morning over central and southeast Idaho into southwest Montana and 

western Wyoming. This afternoon, isolated to scattered mixed wet and dry thunderstorms will develop across 

much of the Rockies, Southwest, and eastern Great Basin. Scattered thunderstorms will also develop across 

much of the Plains, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, and Gulf and Southeast Coasts. Severe thunderstorms 

are most likely to develop in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast ahead of a cold front. Above normal temperatures 

will continue for much of Alaska, with isolated thunderstorms for the central and eastern Interior.
