Okay, folks: The big El Niño update is now out on Weather West! This sure looks like it's going to be a dramatic year from a global climate perspective, and there are major implications for extreme events (across California, the U.S. West, & well beyond). weatherwest.com/archives/438…

Special update: Rising odds of a strong-to-historic El Niño event in 2026, with growing likelihood...

The view of the South Fork Fire from Crawford, Nebraska this evening. This is some crazy fire behavior. Nebraska has seen the most active and largest wildfires in the nation this year, and it doesn’t look like it’s stopping. Residents surrounding Crawford are evacuating, and ranchers are trying to get their cattle to safe locations. The fire is now over 16,000 acres. Over 1.1M acres have burned in the state so far. 📷 Luis Corral 🙏

Unfortunately, as expected, the #SouthForkFire in Nebraska is going big this afternoon. Exhibiting pyrocumulus and appears to have two distinct head fires moving eastward. #newx #nefire

As earlier noted, a significant West Coast heatwave will build in the coming days, persisting at least 7-10 days. A strong & at least somewhat persistent ridge will bring war-to-hot conditions West Coast wide. Heat will be most anomalous in PacNW, but will also be present in CA.

The #SouthForkFire in Nebraska remains very active this morning. Forecast calls for westerly winds gusting to 40mph through the day with RH down to the 10-15% range. Red Flag Warning. Will be a long day for firefighters. #newx #nefire

I would expect fire season across the interior West to kick into high gear quite soon, with at least 6 consecutive upcoming days or critical or near-critical fire weather (a mix of hot, dry, windy, plus some dry lightning) aligning with widespread severe to extreme drought.

Models are showing potential for a major fire weather event for the SW next Tuesday. They are showing widespread 25-30 mph winds with RH in the single digits. Fuels will be dried out by multiple preceding days of hot, dry and windy conditions. #azwx #utwx #cowx #nmwx

Highway 3 outside of Shellbrook looking east. I believe this is smoke from the Lobstick fire outside of MacDowall. Please be safe out there - safely discard of cigarettes, be cautious using tools which can create a spark.. #firesafety

An intense pyroCB has developed west of Prince Albert, SK. Plenty of lightning being generated. Dangerous fire conditions across the province today! #skwx #skstorm @HotshotWake

Looks like the Lobstick Fire has developed an intense turbulent plume core along the head fire. With elevated localized velocities and spectrum width. #skstorm #skfire

The Lobstick Fire in central SK has woken up today and is producing a large plume on radar. #skstorm #skfire

Here is a radar animation of the deep #pyroCu from yesterday's RX burn on Farmington Bay of the Great Salt Lake. You can see both the first deep plume pulse, the lake breeze move the plume inland, then an storm outflow hit the plume at the end (pushing it back west).

If you're on the Wasatch Front, you probably noticed a large pryocumulus cloud develop over a prescribed fire! Here's a timelapse of the plume development and a display of the instability in place over northern Utah #utwx
