The Whitewater/Baldy Complex Fire, the largest wildfire in New Mexico state history as of this writing, was fully contained in mid-July after scorching 297,845 acres.  Previously, the Las Conchas wildfire of 2011 at just over 156,000 acres, was the state's largest.
On May 9th, the Baldy Fire started and on May 16, the Whitewater Fire was detected.  Both fires were started by lightning. On May 24th, strong winds allowed the Whitewater and Baldy wildfires to merge, becoming the Whitewater-Baldy Complex. At least 12 structures burned in the Willow Creek subdivision. On May 26th, another bout of stronger winds led to the evacuation of Mogollon. Spotting was reported up to three-quarters of a mile within mixed conifer and ponderosa pine on the northern side of the fire, while pinon pine and juniper were more common on the southeast flank. The fire led to numerous road closures including Forest Service Road 141, Forest Service Road 28 at the Forest Service Road 94 junction, State Road 159 at Whitewater and Forest Service Road 150 at the Forest Service Road 142 junction.

This area north of Interstate 80, including most of Valley, Greeley, Sherman and Howard Counties along with far western Nance County started out July in category D1 moderate drought according to the U.S. Drought Monitor, but by month's end had drastically degraded to category D4 exceptional drought for the first time since at least 2002. As of July 31st, all counties were either a primary or contiguous county in a federally-declared drought disaster area. This incredibly rapid onset of exceptional flash drought marked a downward spiral in drought conditions since early June, when the entire area was still free of all drought categories. In fact, precipitation during both April and May was slightly above normal across most of this area, including two-month totals of 7.55 at Ord and 6.83 at Greeley. However, a dramatic decrease in rainfall ensued during June and July with most of the area totaling less than 1 for the two months combined!  Serving as one of many examples, the combined June-July rainfall total of 0.48 at the Ord airport was merely 7 percent of the normal amount of 7.09, and was by far the driest June-July period on record. Other paltry June-July rainfall totals within the area included 0.38 at St. Paul, 0.62 at Greeley and 0.89 at Belgrade. Focusing solely on July, several places recorded no measurable rain during the month, including at Belgrade and near Dannebrog. As though the lack of rain was not enough to hasten the onset of drought, average daily high temperatures for the combined months of June and July registered at least 5-8 degrees above normal, essentially baking moisture-starved maturing crops. In Ord, the average June-July daily high temperature was 92.6 degrees, or 8.3 degrees hotter than the 30-year normal. In July, Ord reached at least 100 degrees on 10 days. For the week ending July 29th, the Nebraska Weather and Crops Report from the USDA indicated that some corn was being chopped for silage or cut for hay to compensate for poor pasture conditions. In addition, state-averaged topsoil and subsoil moisture was indicated as 96 percent short to very short. Poor to very poor crop conditions were reported as 37 percent for corn, 38 percent for soybeans and 69 percent for alfalfa, and pasture and range conditions were rated as 83 percent poor to very poor.

Dawson, Gosper and Furnas Counties in far western portions of South Central Nebraska started out July in category D2 severe drought according to the U.S. Drought Monitor, but by month's end had degraded to category D3 extreme drought for the first time since at least 2006. As of July 31st, all three counties were either a primary or contiguous county in a federally-declared drought disaster area. This rapid onset of extreme drought represented a notable degradation in conditions since early May when the entire area was free of all drought categories. Looking back a few months prior to the onset of drought, a fairly wet April helped mitigate the impact of a rather dry March. As a result, the period from May into early June would prove critical as to whether drought would develop. Unfortunately, the combined months of May and June subsequently yielded no more than 25-45% of normal precipitation across most of the area. The situation continued to worsen in July, with much of this three-county area measuring less than 1 inch of rain during the month, versus the 30-year normal around 3.50 inches. A few of the lowest cooperative observer rainfall totals during July included 0.36 inches near Lexington, 0.65 inches in Gothenburg and 1.26 inches in Wilsonville. Despite the overall dryness, there were localized exceptions of heavier monthly rainfall, including Cambridge which stood out with 4.28 inches. However, the lack of rainfall was not the only factor contributing to the worsening drought. Average daily maximum temperatures for the combined months of June and July ended up well above normal, essentially baking moisture-starved maturing crops. In Gothenburg, the average June-July daily high temperature was 93.0 degrees, or 7.8 degrees hotter than the normal of 85.2 degrees. In Cambridge, ten July days reached at least 100 degrees, including five days in a row between the 19th-24th. For the week ending July 29th, the Nebraska Weather and Crops Report from the USDA indicated that some corn was being chopped for silage or cut for hay to compensate for poor pasture conditions. In addition, state-averaged topsoil and subsoil moisture was indicated as 96 percent short to very short. Poor to very poor crop conditions were reported as 37 percent for corn, 38 percent for soybeans and 69 percent for alfalfa, and pasture and range conditions were rated as 83 percent poor to very poor.

A secondary cold front dropped south into Iowa during the afternoon of the 9th.  That in combination with a weak upper level trough of low pressure set off isolated thunderstorms over the eastern third of Iowa.  CAPE was limited, around 1000 J/kg, with downdraft CAPE around 700 J/kg.  The freezing level was lower than it had been in the previous several weeks and was around 12,000 feet.  CAPE available in the -10 to -30 C layer of the atmosphere was around 200 J/kg.  A thunderstorms developed over southeast Minnesota and dropped south into Butler County.

This period of excessively hot weather began in late July and continued into early August 2012. Extremely hot temperatures and high humidity combined to produce dangerously hot weather conditions across portions of northwest and west central Arkansas. Daily heat index values climbed into the 105 to 115 degree range with little relief occurring at night as temperatures only fell into the upper 70s to lower 80s. Two young children died during this period of extremely hot weather after being left in vehicles for an extended period of time.
