January 22, 2021 Nationally, 18 new large fires were reported in nine states. A significant wind event in California caused several new wildfires this week. Firefighters continue to work on two large fires in California and one in Oklahoma. Twenty large fires were contained this week. Weather The upper-level ridge that has been mostly over California or just offshore has migrated farther west in the north Pacific, which will allow storms to track farther south across California and the Intermountain West. As a result, multiple upper-level troughs will move southeast from the Gulf of Alaska into the West over the next week with widespread precipitation, including heavy snow in the mountains, expected across the West. The heaviest precipitation is likely to move into California and the Southwest mid to late next week with the Southwest receiving precipitation this weekend into early next week. Widespread precipitation is also likely across the Southeast and into the central Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic over the next week. However, parts of the Gulf Coast and much of the Florida Peninsula will remain mostly dry. Additionally, much of the northern Plains and High Plains are likely to remain dry through next week. Dry and windy periods are likely on the Plains in this progressive pattern, which could result in occasional locally elevated to critical fire weather conditions. |
