September 21, 2018 Firefighters contained 10 large fires yesterday. Two new ones were reported, one each in Montana and Oregon. Currently 71 large fires have burned 913,394 acres in 11 states. Emergency responders and support personnel continue to assist with relief efforts in North Carolina. Weather: A westerly flow will resume across much of the country as temperatures remain near average in most areas. Breezy conditions are expected near the mountain passes in the mountains across the northern tier of the country. Showers will develop in the Cascades by afternoon and spread east into the Okanogan by evening. A stationary front positioned across the South will allow for a return to wet conditions across Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee. All in all, widespread critical fire weather conditions are not expected today across the country. |
