#WildfireAware Situation Report for Situation Report for SUNDAY | AUGUST 20, 2023, for the United States. #Fireseason2023 We are at National Preparedness Level 4. #PL4 #InitialAttack activity continues to be LIGHT, with 123 NEW FIRES reported. There are 6 NEW LARGE FIRES in Washington, Idaho, Mississippi, Montana, and California. #OregonFire (WA) #AntFire (ID) #PlantFire (CA) #BeaverPondFire (MS) #UpperMizpahFire (MT) #CheekFire (MS) 6 large fires were contained. There are a total of 52 UNCONTAINED LARGE FIRES currently. Nationally, 64 fires are being managed under a strategy other than full suppression. NIFC PREDICTIVE SERVICES WEATHER DISCUSSION: The remnants of #Hilary will bring torrential rainfall and potentially catastrophic flooding to southern California and portions of Nevada, along with high winds. Lighter but widespread rainfall will also overspread the remainder of the western Great Basin and into eastern Oregon and the Northern Rockies, bringing a significant moderation in fire weather conditions. Temperatures will also trend much cooler. North Ops and Northwest will see less in the way of rainfall, but higher humidity will bring some moderation, especially in Oregon and eastern parts of North Ops. Drier and warm conditions will continue in much of Washington and western Oregon. To the east of Hilary, warm, windy, and dry conditions will develop over Colorado and New Mexico, with elevated to near critical fire weather conditions. Hot and dry weather will continue over Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. Further warming is also expected over the central Plains states and the Mississippi and Missouri Valleys, with the hottest weather of the season so far in some of these areas. A warming and drying trend will also begin over the Great Lakes and East Coast, with still a few thunderstorms in Florida. Alaska will see cool weather with showers over much of the interior. #REDFLAGWARNINGS are in effect in the Pacific Northwest, Colorado, and New Mexico. There is #FIREWEATHERWATCH is in effect in Wyoming.

#WildfireAware Situation Report for Situation Report for SATURDAY | AUGUST 19, 2023, for the United States. #Fireseason2023 We are at National Preparedness Level 4. #PL4 #InitialAttack activity continues to be MODERATE, with 208 NEW FIRES reported. There are 11 NEW LARGE FIRES in California, Washington, and Texas. #LakeFire (CA) #WinonaFire (WA) #GrayFire (WA) #RiverRoadEastFire (MT) #ElectricSlide (TX) #HillTopFire (TX) #BlackMountainFire (MT) #CoyoteFire (CA) #MCarmelFire (TX) #OwlFire (TX) #3251MillsRoadFire (TX) 6 large fires were contained. There are a total of 55 UNCONTAINED LARGE FIRES currently. Nationally, 65 fires are being managed under a strategy other than full suppression. NIFC PREDICTIVE SERVICES WEATHER DISCUSSION: Some moderation is expected in the West with more substantial cooling over the Northern Rockies and more widespread showers and wet thunderstorms over the Great Basin. It will remain warm and dry over North Ops and much of the Northwest, but winds will decrease. Minimum humidity will still fall to 15% to 25% over a wide area, with some poor recoveries continuing in the midslopes and higher. Another round of isolated mixed wet and dry thunderstorms is expected over northern California, interior Oregon, and Idaho. As Hurricane Hilary begins to move closer to the US, scattered to widespread showers and wet thunderstorms are expected across southern California and western portions of the Four Corners states. However, New Mexico and Colorado will trend hotter and drier, and southerly winds will start to pick up as well. Hot and dry weather will continue over Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. Further warming is also expected over the Plains states, with hotter and windier weather for much of the Mississippi and lower Missouri Valleys. It will remain cooler and mainly dry over the eastern Great Lakes and Northeast, while the Southeast will turn warmer and mostly dry aside from thunderstorms in Florida. Temperatures will remain near to below normal in most of Alaska, with showery weather over some interior portions of the state and some areas of breezy conditions. #REDFLAGWARNINGS remain in effect throughout the Pacific Northwest into Northern California; with #FIREWEATHERWATCH in Colorado and Texas. The Storm Prediction Center has issued an Elevated Fire Weather area for Central and west Texas.
