Risk of large fires to stay high into fall

The risk of large fires will remain high through November in much of the West thanks to widespread drought, dry fuels and above-normal temperatures, the National Interagency Fire Center predicts. With more than 95% of the West in drought, timber, brush and grass are “exceptionally dry,” said Jim Wallmann, meteorologist with the NIFC-tied National Interagency Coordination Center. Some recent rainfall helped, “but we would need something much longer-duration than we’ve seen to really make a large impact on the rest of the fire season.” A strong start to the monsoon season returned fuels to normal moisture levels in Arizona, New Mexico and parts of Colorado, he said. Near-term risk in the Four Corners region should drop to normal or below normal.
