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

Dry and windy conditions will continue in portions of New England and the Great Lakes leading to elevated and 

locally critical conditions, with high-risk significant fire potential forecast across southern New England into New 

York and northern New Jersey. Dry and windy conditions will also continue in portions of the Deltana and Tanana 

Flats into the eastern Alaska Range. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms will develop across much of the 

Intermountain West and High Plains, with the greatest coverage in portions of the Southwest near the Mogollon 

Rim and from northeast Washington to northwest Montana. Scattered to widespread thunderstorms are expected 

across the Southeast through the southern half of Texas, including severe thunderstorms from the southern into 

central Appalachians and surrounding areas.
