Firefighters made good progress yesterday by containing six large fires, while a total of five new large fires were reported in Colorado, Nevada, Oregon and Utah. Initial attack crews across the country were successful in putting out nearly 235 fires.

Scattered thunderstorms are expected for several western states, with the possibility of dry thunderstorms in the Rocky Mountain Area. Monsoonal moisture over the Southwest Area will bring partly sunny skies and scattered, wet thunderstorms for this area as well. Wind conditions will vary across the west, with potential wind gusts reaching up to 50 mph near thunderstorm activity in the Western Great Basin Area.

Very high to extreme fire indices are being reported in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Kansas, Massachusetts, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.

As critical fire conditions persist, and are expected to continue for several weeks, people can help reduce the number of human-caused fires by taking precautions. Click here for Wildfire Prevention Tips.
