Lightning sparked the Columbine Wildfire over the eastern portion of Yellowstone National Park beginning at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 9.  Smokejumpers and aerial bombardment could not keep the fire contained the next day and the fire grew to over 1,000 acres.  Gusty southwest wind and dry conditions allowed the fire to grow significantly on Sunday, August 12.  The fire made additional advances east over the next three days, twice closing the East Entrance to Yellowstone National Park because of dense smoke.  Over one and one-half inches of rain fell on the fire from August 17 through August 19 considerably slowing progress of the fire.  Several resort areas just to the east of the national park boundary along U.S. Highway 14-16-20 had been threatened by the blaze.  Approximately 18,255 acres were torched.  Total acreage burned within Yellowstone National Park totaled 16,523 with the remainder being in the Shoshone National Forest.

During the first half of August, a heat wave took hold of the region and brought some of the warmest temperatures since the summer of 2000. This heat wave began around August 5th and lasted until the 16th. Between August 10th and 15th, the entire area reached 100 degrees or higher. Twenty three record highs were also set during this time with one location, Greenwood, tying their all time highest temperature at 106 degrees. In addition to the plain hot temperatures, humidity levels were quite high as well. As the temperature soared each day, high relative humidities resulted in heat index values between 105 and 112 degrees.
This heat wave was responsible for one fatality. The fatality occurred on August 8th, in Mount Olive, MS. A 17 year old male collapsed during football practice, then later passed away at the hospital.
The hot temperatures during the first and middle part of the month helped to contribute to one of the warmest months on record for August. Each of the six climate locations, or stations of record, recorded August temperatures in the top five warmest with two stations recording their warmest August ever. The warmest August ever occurred at Greenville and Hattiesburg.

Drought conditions (severe, D2) expanded eastward into Eastern Upper Michigan during August.  It was a dry summer in the region, especially in the Upper Peninsula.  Dryness started in late May, with just 0.30 inches of rain at Sault Ste Marie after May 16th through the end of the month.  June rainfall of 1.74 inches was 1.26 inches below normal.  Similarly, July rainfall at the Sault was 1.50 inches, 1.64 inches below normal.  August rainfall totalled 1.03 inches, a full 2.44 inches below normal.  The hay crop in Eastern Upper Michigan was 50 to 70 percent of normal.  The resulting lack of feed led some farmers to cut their cattle herds.  A burning ban was issued for the majority of the state in mid-August, the first such ban since 1998.  Significant rains in September would eventually alleviate the drought.

Drought conditions (severe, D2) expanded into the tip of Northern Michigan by the end of August.  The was the result of a dry summer in the region.  The dryness dated as far back as May, when only 1.09 inches of rain fell in Pellston.  June rainfall was 1.92 inches.  July rainfall was near normal and brought some respite, but August saw just 1.21 inches of rain at Pellston.  A ban on burning was issued for most of the state in mid-August, the first such ban since 1998.  Golf courses and farmers complained of very high utility bills, due to the need for near-constant irrigation.  Corn and bean crops were severely impacted.  Rains in September would partially alleviate drought conditions for a spell.

Thunderstorms developed along a distinct outflow boundary and nearly stationary cold front stretching from near central Iowa back southwestward through central Kansas. Despite modest shear profiles, abundant instability helped thunderstorms to develop and pulse, which resulted in several large hail reports--the largest of which fell in Hanover, KS where stones up to the size of golfballs were reported.  The thunderstorms also produced extremely heavy rain, which prompted flash flood warnings in Brown County.  Several storms merged into a short line segment stretching across far south central Nebraska to far north central Kansas.  Gusty winds were reported along this line, across counties along the KS/NE border.  Severe criteria was reached as the storms moved into Nemaha County.
