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. The Storm Prediction Center has issued an Elevated Fire Weather area for Northwest and Central New Mexico into the central High Plains and Central and West Texas.

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.

Can’t wait to check it out! A glimpse into what I did, places I’ve seen and communities we’ve helped during my 13 years of service as a type 1. #hotshots #brotherhood #fire #firefighter #wildland #wildlandfirefighter #initialattack #type1 #toughasnails @LeiAlcan
Forest Service and local firefighters, including air resources, are responding to multiple new starts in Northeast Wyoming. #InitialAttack #MasonFire #OakFire #wyfire https://t.co/9PAH31tJOL
🔥@Corbett_Fire and @CRGNSA have responded to and knocked down a small grass fire just west of Mult Falls near Benson Lake. I-84 remains open but traffic has slowed down in the area. @MultnomahFalls Historic Lodge is currently w/out electricity. 🔥
#initialattack
Echo Chief @JohnAFisher. ALIGNMENT was key #CoastalFire = Strong onshore/west wind 30MPH + significant upslope topography + old age decadent brush. Aggressive #initialattack was critical affecting perimeter control & simul #structuredefense. @FIRIS @OCFireAuthority @OCFAChief
There are dozens of SD neighborhoods that could be heavily damaged by a fire like this. Mt. Soledad, Golden Hill, Linda Vista, etc. All it takes is alignment. Resources matter, veg management matters, training matters, mutual aid matters, experience matters.

This is where good training becomes important. Smoke like this from the Caldor Fire last season limits visibility and creates challenging conditions for flight crews.

Our number one priority is serving the men and women on the frontlines of fires. It’s a critical partnership in attacking and beating wildfires.
