Drought Monitor

Drought conditions continue to take shape across the 4 Corners Region.  This means theses areas under dry and moderate drought conditions could easily see a wildfire today.

Wind Forecast

Areas being monitored for a critical fire risk could feel winds of 20-30 mph with gusts over 50 mph.  This means if a fire starts it will easily strengthen and spread with wind speeds this strong.
