With record-breaking snowmelt, is the western US at risk for wildfires like those in Canada?
DENVER – A rapid snowmelt across the western United States is setting records for how quickly the frozen precipitation is disappearing and also raising alarms about future wildfire activity. According to the National Integrated Drought Information System, many mountainous regions in states such as Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and New Mexico saw near- to above-average snowfall, but now many of the same basins are experiencing drought. The rapid loss of snowpack, combined with elevated evaporation rates, can quickly dry out soils and vegetation, creating ideal conditions for wildfires. "Snowmelt this time of year is common, but such rapid melt rates are not normal," experts with NIDIS stated. "In some instances, above-normal temperatures such as these can cause snow to sublimate (transition from a solid to a gas) and reduce runoff into streams and reservoirs." Examples of snowless mountains include Wolf Creek Pass in Colorado and Baldy Mountain in Arizona. Canadian Wildfires Bring Poor Air Quality, Hazy Skies, Red Sunsets Across Central, Eastern U.s. Large sections of Canada have also seen a shorter snowmelt period, which has coincided with an uptick in wildfire activity. According to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre, more than 200 wildfires continue to burn across the country, with nearly 6.4 million acres destroyed since the beginning of the year. While the figures appear to be staggering, they are still far short of 2023, when some 37 million acres burned, setting records for the country's worst fire season on record. The previous record-breaking season led to significant smoke infiltration of the U.S., impacting air quality readings for millions of residents across North America. Similar plumes of smoke have been observed during recent weeks, but due to the jet stream, most of the particles have remained elevated well above the surface. A pattern shift would undoubtedly allow more of the hazardous air to reach the surface, leading to health concerns in addition to visibility issues. With a lack of snow and fire dangers increasing across the western U.S., it might only be a matter of time before firefighters are racing to contain wildfires from the Desert Southwest to the Northern Rockies. Because of the general west-to-east wind flow across the U.S., any large wildfire that pops up in the West naturally sends smoke eastward, potentially impacting a large chunk of the country. Before And After Images Show The Extent Of Wildfire Damage Around Los Angeles So far, the U.S. has been experiencing only an average wildfire season, but some of the worst months are still ahead. According to the National Interagency Fire Center, 1.2 million acres have burned in 2025, which is below last year's figure, which was in excess of 2 million through the first five months of the year. Outside of Florida, most counties facing drought conditions are in the western U.S., with nearly a third of the nation officially in significant deficit, according to data from the U.S. Drought Monitor. As the calendar year heads deeper into summer, forecasters expect drought conditions to expand in many locations west of the Mississippi River, including in the Northern Plains and throughout article source: With record-breaking snowmelt, is the western US at risk for wildfires like those in Canada?

Orlando weather: Heat and humidity spike with feels-like temps over 100 degrees
The Brief It will be hot and muggy, with highs in the low 90s on Friday in Central Florida. Scattered afternoon storms are expected, some could be severe. Saharan dust will reduce air quality and cause haze. The weekend will be mostly dry and hot. There is only a 20%-40% chance of late-day storms. What to expect ORLANDO, Fla. - Today will be hotter and downright MUGGY, with highs in the low 90s and a feels-like temperature of 103°. Central Florida can expect scattered afternoon storms, and a few could be severe with damaging wind gusts. Saharan dust won't be quite as thick but will still be present, reducing air quality and adding a haze to the sky. Storms will dissipate after 9 p.m., and it will remain warm and muggy. Little rain is expected Saturday and Sunday, but abundant heat will make for a "true summer weekend" — great for the pool or beach. There is only a 20% to 40% chance of a late-day storm. Looking ahead Next week, the rainy season establishes in full swing, with likely afternoon storm chances as the sea breeze with highs in the low 90s.

Drought emergency hits Pierce County, much of Western Washington
The Washington State Department of Ecology declared a large portion of Pierce County under drought emergency at a press conference Thursday, although Tacoma was spared. The emergency declaration includes a large part of the Puget Sound area and central Cascade mountains, impacting 22 watersheds, said Casey Sixkiller, director of the DOE. The declaration allows the state to use relief tools, such as expediting emergency water right transfers and providing emergency drought grants to public entities — there is $4.5 million available this year to support those actions, he said. 'For most of the people who live in the major metro areas of the Puget Sound region and get their water from Seattle, Tacoma, or Everett, those reservoirs and water supplies are in good shape,' Sixkiller said. 'The utility companies do not expect hardship for their customers.' However, some rural and agricultural areas in the Puget Sound will see impacts, including to the habitats of salmon and other fish, Sixkiller added. Karin Bumbaco, Washington's deputy state climatologist, said above-normal April temperatures and below-normal April and May precipitation have been the main drivers of the drought. April's statewide average temperature was about two degrees Fahrenheit above normal, she said, and snowpack peaked in March, almost two weeks earlier than usual. Bumbaco added that total April and May precipitation was less than 60% of the normal rainfall for most of the state, creating below-normal stream flows in rain-dominated basins. Seasonal forecasts are predicting a likelihood of above-normal temperatures and below-normal precipitation for the summer, she said, and officials expect those trends to continue in the years to come. 'It is important to remember that we expect droughts to be more severe and more frequent in the future,' Bumbaco said. DOE statewide drought lead Caroline Mellor said a drought means water supply conditions are much worse than normally expected in a watershed. She added the drought declaration does not affect many Eastern Washington counties, which tend to be drier areas of the state, because they may not be drier than normally expected. 'That snowpack is so important as it serves as a natural storage for our water supply,' Mellor said. '.... Now with these earlier melt-offs, and lower-than-normal precipitation, that is a major concern for impacts to fish, and agriculture, and potentially drinking water in smaller systems later in the summer.' Bumbaco also said the likelihood of wildfire spread is higher with the ongoing drought conditions. According to the National Interagency Fire Center's June outlook, the Eastern half of Washington is considered above normal for significant wildland fire potential — current estimates broaden that designation to cover most of Washington in July, and to completely encompass the state in August and September. In April, a drought advisory was initially declared for a large portion of Pierce County, but not the Tacoma area. Previously, in April 2024, an emergency drought declaration was also in place for most of the state, except for the Seattle, Tacoma and Everett areas. In 2023, Pierce County was involved in a statewide drought advisory, but did not see a drought emergency declared. This is the third consecutive year in which snowpack deficits or early melt have impacted the water supply in Washington, Sixkiller said. 'We've declared drought in six of the past ten years. Low water supplies are becoming routine in Washington, and that includes on the wetter West side of our state,' Sixkiller added. 'Washington's water supply infrastructure is simply designed for precipitation and temperature patterns that are changing and are no longer reliable.'
