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

Dry and breezy weather leading to elevated and critical fire weather conditions are expected across much of the 

Great Basin, in the Cascade Gaps, and into the northern Rockies, northern High Plains, deserts of southern 

California, portions of the Southwest, and western Colorado. Above normal temperatures will continue across 

the Desert Southwest, southern California, Texas, the Plains, and into the Mississippi Valley and Southeast, with 

relatively dry and breezy conditions also expected in portions of Texas into the Mid-Mississippi Valley. Isolated 

to scattered mixed wet and dry thunderstorms will continue across the Southwest, greater Four Corners, central 

Rockies, and possibly into far southern and eastern Nevada, southeast and central Idaho, and southwest 

Montana. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms and showers are forecast over the Midwest and Great Lakes, 

including severe thunderstorms, and along the Gulf and southeast Atlantic Coasts. Well above normal 

temperatures and thunderstorms will continue across much of the Alaska Interior.
