Wildfire Aware Situation Report: Weather Discussion
Provided by the National Interagency Fire Center
Hot, dry, and breezy conditions will remain centered across Texas and the Lower Mississippi Valley although conditions will not be as critical as yesterday. The Hawaiian Island chain will experience decreasing wind speeds although dry conditions will remain. Monsoonal moisture will be found over the greater Four Corners area and provide a mix of wet and dry thunderstorms and gusty outflow winds. Warmer, drier, and locally breezy conditions will prevail across the Pacific Northwest and northern Rockies. Increasing humidity and scattered showers with isolated generally wet thunderstorms will affect the southern half of California while warmer and drier conditions remain across the northern half. Large portions of the East will continue to receive abundant precipitation while conditions remain dry across the upper Great Lakes. The southern half of Alaska will remain cool and somewhat moist with scattered showers and thunderstorms while the North Slope and northern Interior will be much warmer and drier.
Red Flag Warnings are in effect across most of Texas and in Northeastern Montana. The Storm Prediction Center has issued an area of fire weather concern for Texas for another day.
