Currently, six large fires are burned in California. Four new large fires were reported this week, and firefighters were able to reach containment goals on five large fires. To date, 52,834 wildfires have burned 9,539,554 acres, the second most acres burned in the past 10 years.

During this unprecedented time, the safety of the public and all wildland fire responders is always the number one priority for all wildland fire agencies. For more information and links to the Geographic Area Plans, visit the NIFC COVID-19 page.

Weather

Strong upper-level ridging will dominate over the western and central CONUS for much of the next week. An exception will be an upper low sliding south over California and the western Great Basin this weekend into early next week before likely tracking east across the Southwest and northwest Mexico later in the week. Upper-level troughing is forecast over the eastern CONUS through mid-next week as multiple upper lows track east from the southern Plains and drop south from Canada.
