August 1, 2024 - Currently, 93 large active wildfires are being managed with full suppression strategies nationwide. These fires have burned 2,343,392 acres nationwide. About 29,130 firefighters credit nifcwildland firefighters and support personnel are assigned to wildfires, including 25 complex and 5 Type 1 incident management teams, 654 crews, 1,794 engines, 174 helicopters, and four Modular Airborne Fire Fighting Systems, or MAFFS. 

Evacuation orders are in effect on 28 wildfires. If you live in an area that has been evacuated, please follow the instructions from local authorities. They will provide the latest recommendations based on the threat to your community and appropriate safety measures.

There are fuels and fire behavior advisories in place for Southwest Oregon, the region east of the Cascades in Oregon and WashingtonNevadaSouthern IdahoUtah, and California. Residents, travelers, or workers on their way to any of these states should be advised and familiarize themselves with the elevated risks. 

The national predictive services staff at the National Interagency Coordination Center released the National Significant Wildland Fire Potential Outlook for July through October. For additional information about the current outlook visit the Outlook page on the NICC site

As this summer has seen numerous fires across the country consume thousands of acres, it is important to remember that early suppression of new fire starts remains a vital objective. The vast majority of fires are contained within 24 hours of their discovery, also known as the initial attack stage; these fires do not get large enough to be listed on the incident management summary report. Prepositioning firefighters and firefighting resources strategically for initial attack, especially in areas where predictive services have identified a potential for large fire growth, is a critical consideration during the busiest part of the fire year, and must be balanced with the tremendous need for resources to fight large fires. 

Weather

Upper-level high pressure will quickly rebound across the United States today, promoting widespread anomalous heat from much of the West into the southern Great Plains. High temperatures above 100°F will promote rapid drying, even in areas that experienced rainfall earlier in the week. After another morning with poor recoveries, relative humidity will drop into the single digits and teens over a broad area, lowest from central and northern Nevada to the Four Corners. Moisture recovery will be much better over the Front Range on Thursday, but another dry and hot afternoon is expected ahead of increasing thunderstorm chances. Deeper monsoonal moisture will remain limited to far southern Arizona and parts of New Mexico, West Texas, and southern Colorado, but a subtle increase in moisture appears likely over southern California. Widely scattered mixed wet/dry thunderstorms will most likely develop over the deserts and mountains of southern California and Nevada into northwest Arizona, in addition to Colorado. The Cascades will see a low risk for a few late day storms, as well. Increasing southerly flow aloft over northern California and the Oregon Cascades could bring some wind gusts of 25-35 mph during peak heating, while transport winds will increase over the Park Fire as compared to yesterday. Otherwise, winds over most of the Intermountain West will be well below critical levels as high pressure aloft expands over the region. Outflow boundaries from any thunderstorms that manage to develop could briefly enhance wind gusts, however. Winds are forecast to decrease in the Plains states, while a frontal boundary could trigger another round of thunderstorms from northeast New Mexico to southwest Kansas. Very hot and dry conditions will continue south of this front, with relative humidity as low as 15% expected over western north Texas into western Oklahoma and eastern New Mexico as high temperatures surge to near 105°F. Scattered thunderstorm clusters will continue another day from the western Great Lakes to the Appalachian states and Florida.
