Hot and dry conditions will make for extreme wildfire risk across parts of the West. The most critical area today will be across portions of Utah, Nevada and New Mexico. In Utah, winds could top 50 mph, meaning any wildfire that ignites would spread rapidly. Watch for the latest on the wildfire threat.
