Fifty large fires and complexes have burned 1,952,016 acres in 10 states. Seven new large fires were reported, four in Alaska, two in California, and one in Oregon. More than 4,500 wildland firefighters and support personnel are assigned to incidents across the nation.
The number of wildfires and acres burned this year is well above the 10-year average. As of today, 33,360 wildfires have burned 3,625,819 acres, the most in the past 10 years.
The Huron and Hilltop fires in Alaska and the Willow Creek fire in Oregon displayed extreme fire behavior yesterday. With very hot and dry conditions in many states, it's important to know the current and expected weather, fuels and fire danger information. Stay up-to-date with the Predictive Services outlooks, weather forecasts, and fuels and fire danger briefings.
The 4th of July is right around the corner. Now more than ever, wildland firefighters need your help to prevent wildfires. Remember that fireworks have no place in our wildlands. Check for local fire restrictions before heading out this weekend. And remember to never leave your campfire unattended, properly dispose barbecue charcoal, use equipment safely and prevent malfunctions, and keep vehicles off of dry grass. We all play a role in wildfire prevention and safety.
Dry and breezy conditions are likely across the Great Basin into portions of the northern Rockies and southeast California. Elevated to critical fire weather conditions are expected across portions of eastern Wyoming, northeast Colorado, western Nebraska, and western South Dakota as south- southwest winds strengthen amid a dry airmass. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are likely, mostly along and west of the Divide in the Southwest, Four Corners, and Colorado Rockies into southern Wyoming. Drier storms are possible on the northwest and northern periphery of this area. Strong to severe thunderstorms are likely on portions of the northern Plains into the western Great Lakes, with thunderstorms likely continuing near the Gulf and southeast Atlantic Coasts. Warm and dry conditions will continue across much of the Interior, southwest, and south-central Alaska, with isolated thunderstorms likely across south-central and southeast Alaska.
