Fire activity remains high across the West, with 14 new large wildfires reported and 36 fires currently uncontained. An additional 78 fires are being carefully managed using strategies beyond full suppression, balancing safety, ecological considerations, and resource priorities. More than 15,000 wildland firefighters and support personnel are working across the country, including 18 complex incident management teams, 368 crews, 702 engines, and 120 helicopters. So far this year, 37,672 wildfires have burned 2.5 million acres, tracking above the 10-year average in number, though slightly below in acres burned.

A new multi-state fuels and fire behavior advisory was just issued for central and southern Utah, the Arizona Strip, southwest Wyoming, and lower elevations of Colorado’s western slope. This region is experiencing critically dry fuels, including grass, brush, and pinyon-juniper, and recent wildfires have shown intense fire behavior and rapid spread. These fuels are dry enough to ignite and carry fire easily, even from small sparks. Read the advisory on the predictive services website at the National Interagency Coordination Center.

If you're headed outdoors, remember: the landscape is primed for fire. Sparks from vehicles, trailer chains, target shooting, or campfires can turn into fast-moving wildfires in these conditions. Prevention is more than a message; it’s a responsibility we all share.

This year’s National Fire Year Themes remind us: It takes all of us working together, using the best tools and science, and making responsible choices, to reduce risks and protect what we value. Whether you're a firefighter, a public land visitor, or a neighbor in a fire-prone area, your actions matter. Let’s keep each other safe out there.

Weather

A strong cold front will move through Washington and the northern Rockies today, with breezy westerly winds 12-25 mph with gusts 25-40 mph amid minimum relative humidities of 5-20% will create elevated to critical conditions for the Inland Northwest, Sierra Front, and Snake River Plain. Locally strong northerly winds gusting to 60 mph will develop behind the front in the Okanogan Valley of northern Washington. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop near and behind the front across Montana east of the Divide overnight and into the northern Plains. Above normal temperatures will persist across much of California through the southern Intermountain West, as well, with continued low humidity. Isolated to scattered mixed wet and dry thunderstorms will develop near and east of the Divide in Colorado and New Mexico into southeast Arizona and also westward along the Mogollon Rim. Isolated dry thunderstorms will develop across far northern California into northern Nevada and northwest Utah, as well. Isolated showers and thunderstorms will develop from the southern Plains to the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys, with scattered showers and thunderstorms along the Eastern Seaboard. Warm conditions will continue in central and eastern Interior Alaska, with isolated thunderstorms, while the western Interior turns cooler with a few light showers.
