March 1, 2013 Light wildland fire activity continues throughout the United States. Most of the large fires reported this week were in the southeastern states. Weather: A building ridge will bring a slow warm-up to the West over the weekend, and to the Plains by midweek. A fast moving system will move over the ridge through the northern Rockies, producing scattered snow over the mountains. A deep trough in the East will bring very cold air and a chance for scattered snow to the North, with rain and thunderstorms to the South through the week. |
