The lightning-caused Lava Mountain Wildfire was discovered in the mountains south of US Highway 26 west of Dubois late in the day on Monday, July 11. The fire showed little growth until around July 21, when the fire grew from about 1,000 acres to approximately 2,000 acres and caused the first of several evacuations. By the morning of July 24, the fire had grown to nearly 4,000 acres in size. Hot dry conditions over the next few days forced more evacuations in the area around Union Pass subdivision and pushed the fire to over 12,000 acres.

July brought the start of drought conditions in parts of southern New England. Much of the water year was wrought with below normal precipitation for much, if not all of the region. December of 2015 and February of 2016 saw normal to slightly above normal numbers but this was not enough to overcome the deficits in the other 10 months. Taking the year as a whole (October 2015-September 2016) all of southern New England is at least ten to fifteen inches below normal for precipitation. The one exception is Nantucket, which is less than five inches below normal. Most of the area is at least fifteen inches below normal for the water year.
Despite the precipitation deficits, the U.S. Drought Monitor (a collaboration between the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the National Weather Service) did not declare a severe drought in southern New England until July 2016.
