June 27, 2022 - Nationally, 48 large fires have burned 1,831,782 acres in 11 states. One new large fire was reported in Nevada yesterday. More than 4,400 wildland firefighters and support 
personnel are assigned to incidents across the country.
Since January 1, 32,689 wildfires have burned 3,570,823 acres. This continues to be well above the 10-year average of 25,256 wildfires that burned 1.4 million acres.
Weather conditions across the country have increased the potential for wildfires in several states. Thunderstorms will continue in the northern portion of the Southwest area with some drier storms in northern Arizona and Utah. Critical weather conditions are forcast for parts of the Northwest, Great Basin, and eastern Sierra mountains. Very warm and dry conditions with isolated thunderstorms over the south-central Alaska and the eastern Interior.
Many states are experiencing critical weather conditions and near record temperatures. Stay up-to-date with the Predictive Services outlooks, weather forecasts, and fuels and fire danger briefings.
Dry and breezy conditions will develop across portions of south- central Oregon, northeast California, and western Nevada along and east of the Sierra and Cascades. Hot and dry conditions will continue across California, the inland Pacific Northwest, and western and northern Great Basin ahead of an approaching weak cold front and near multiple thermal troughs. Isolated to scattered mixed wet and dry thunderstorms are likely across portions of Utah into northern Arizona, with more numerous wetter thunderstorms expected over Arizona, New Mexico, and the Colorado Rockies. Isolated thunderstorms may develop into southeast California and perhaps on eastern slopes of the Peninsular Range. A cold front will push south and east to the Gulf and Atlantic Coasts, with showers and thunderstorms along and ahead of it. Drier and cooler post-frontal conditions are expected across portions of the southern Plains, the Ohio, Tennessee, and Mid to Lower Mississippi Valleys, and through the Northeast. Hot and dry conditions will continue across much of the Interior and south-central Alaska, with gusty southerly winds in western portions of the Interior. An updated Fuels and Fire Behavior Advisory was issued for Interior, southwest, and south-central Alaska.
