The U.S. Wildland Fire Service is devastated to share that three wildland firefighters lost their lives on Saturday, June 27, as part of an interagency response to the Knowles and Gore fires along the Colorado-Utah border. Additionally, two crew members were injured in the line of duty and have been transported to a hospital.
Our immediate focus is on supporting their families, friends, and fellow crewmates during this incredibly difficult time.
The U.S. Wildland Fire Service stands united with the USDA Forest Service in grief and in our unwavering support for the loved ones left behind. Their bravery, dedication, and sacrifice will never be forgotten.
Additional details will be shared as they are able to be released.

Very cool supercell behavior right now with the storm east of Salina, Kansas. It seems a secondary updraft fired in the inflow region and is getting sucked into the inflow, and even has its own ZDR arc. The supercell itself is merging with the MCS at the same time. #KSwx

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

A truly terrible spot to get stuck at, been here since 6pm yesterday and not a single vehicle has driven by me yet, only saw one vehicle far up the road at one point but that’s about it

You can clearly see the diffluence aloft in mid-level water vapor, with the cirrus to the south moving more to the SE while the cirrus to the north moves more NE/NNE. This "void" of air is filled by rising motion from lower levels, which helps with ascent along the dryline.

Simply stated, there are too many people who see chasing on social media, think “I bet I could do it!” and then freeze up the second it becomes scary. And believe me, it can get scary FAST.
Anyone CAN chase. But not everyone should. Most should NOT.

Tried to get a quick shot of everyone in Norman sheltering under the overpass on I-35. Clearly we’ve learned nothing and people just don’t care.. #okwx

My initial impression for next week is a few days of low-coverage, high-ceiling severe in the S Plains
Common theme seems to be fast-moving waves with strong subtropical jet influence, pumping a strong EML over a relatively dry boundary layer. Unlike the past few years in OK,

Flew over crazy scenes in the Texas panhandle, wildfires have broken out everywhere it seemed. They were spanning the skyline! Sorry for the picture quality, they don’t do it justice, the plane cabin lights were on. Was a smoky sky all the way into OKC #txwx #okwx – at Oklahoma City, OK
