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.

Notably, California and the West Coast are *not* yet seeing conditions favorable for rapid wildfire growth, with cooler and damper (albeit breezy) weather for the next 3-5 days. But this too could change toward mid-June, with a broad ridge and possible major heatwave.
