August 13, 2026
Yesterday, 103 new fires were reported nationwide, including four new large fires. Firefighters are currently working to contain 95 uncontained large fires, with 29,058 personnel assigned to incidents nationwide. So far in 2026, firefighters have responded to 46,636 wildfires that have burned more than 6.4 million acres, 125% and 154% of the 10-year averages, respectively.
On August 11, Leslie R. Washington, 41, of Noorvik, Alaska, a contract firefighter assigned to the Bear Trap incident in Minnesota died following a medical emergency. Our thoughts are with the firefighter’s family, friends, crewmembers and everyone in the firefighting community affected by this loss.
The Northwest remains the nation's most active fire area, with 43 uncontained large fires. The Little Giant Fire in Washington continues to exhibit active fire behavior and threatens structures and critical infrastructure, with evacuations and area, road and trail closures in effect.
Weather
Isolated to scattered thunderstorms producing little to no wetting rainfall are expected to impact more of the Northwest, central and northeast California, northwest Nevada, Idaho, and far western Montana as compared to Wednesday. This will include parts of the Olympic Peninsula in addition to areas in/near the Cascades and the Sierra Front. Farther south and east, scattered thunderstorms will be wetter and generally less efficient at new ignitions in the central/southern Great Basin, the eastern two-thirds of Montana, much of Wyoming and Colorado, as well as the Southwest. RH overall in the West will continue to moderate, with minima at 15-35% for most areas and temperatures near to slightly below normal. Southerly winds gusting up to 40 mph combined with very hot and dry conditions (RH 10-25%) will create widespread elevated to critical conditions in the southern Plains. Isolated mixed wet/dry thunderstorms are also possible across the High Plains. Very hot, dry, and breezy conditions are expected from the ArkLaTex into the Ozark Plateau. Alaska’s eastern Interior remains warm and mostly dry with isolated thunderstorms. Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands will be very warm and dry with high-risk significant fire potential due to stronger trade winds.
