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

Very dry conditions will continue across the Northeast today with minimum relative humidity of 15-25% creating 

moderate significant fire potential. A cold front will move through the Great Lakes, northern and central Plains, 

and Front Range bringing scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms with wetting rain. Isolated to 

scattered thunderstorms will develop across much of the Rockies and Southwest, while well above normal 

temperatures continue along the West Coast. Scattered thunderstorms will continue over the Southeast, 

including the Florida Peninsula, with the heaviest rain in the coastal Carolinas.
