Todays Wildfire Outlook

A compact upper trough will exit the Great Basin region this afternoon, traversing the High Plains and moving over the Upper Midwest in the late evening. A surface low will develop northeastward to the Great Lakes region and send a cold front southward through the southern Plains. An amplifying upper ridge over the eastern Pacific will promote warm and dry conditions across the Interior West, though much lighter winds (compared to previous days) will bring some relief to the fire environment. However, very dry fuels will continue to support Elevated fire concerns.

Todays Highest Threat Level is CRITICAL
