Numerous wildfires continue to burn across the western United States, including three "Megafires," or fires burning over 100,000 acres: The Lee Wildfire, Dragon Bravo Wildfire, and Gifford Wildfire. In addition to the warm weather and dry fuels, fire spread could be accelerated in the next few days with more dry thunderstorms and gusty conditions.

GIFFORD FIRE

Burning as California's largest wildfire in 2025, the Gifford Fire has torched over 132k acres. The good news has been the containment numbers in recent days. That has increased to 89% as of Sunday morning.

LEE FIRE

A large fire erupted on the western slope of the Rocky Mountains, known as the Lee Fire. It has burned over 137k acres. Most of the poor air quality has been locked up in western Colorado, fluctuating at times. This fire is likely soon to become Colorado's third-largest wildfire in state history, needing fewer than 2k additional acres to top the size of the Pine Gulch Fire, which burned during the historic 2020 season in the Centennial State.

DRAGON BRAVO FIRE

One of the largest fires in Arizona history, the Dragon Bravo Fire, has continued to smolder along the northern rim of the Grand Canyon. It has burned more than 144k acres, making it the 7th largest in state history.

FORECAST

Dry and gusty conditions will still have the potential to lead to rapid rates of fire spread through Sunday. Elevated fire weather conditions are expected across portions of Nevada and Utah.

Lightning will still have the potential to spark more fires. Isolated dry thunderstorms are possible through tonight across the Northwest, specifically much of Idaho.
