Some active fires in northern Alberta today. GOES-West geocolor loop below. Also, active fires in the Northwest Territories today (not shown in this loop).

BC has 64 out of control wildfires burning and many of these are burning intensely. GOES-West 3.9 micron band (sensitive to high temperatures from wildfires) loop below showing active fires (white) and very active fires (red)

Numerous large and active fires in central BC producing large smoke flumes. GOES- West geocolor below.

Some late fire season fires in the Yukon. GOES-West geocolor loop below.

A double whammy - a smoke front followed by a cold front in NWT. Lots of very active fires in the NWT producing lots of smoke - GOES-West geocolor loop below. Expect significant growth on fires today as winds increase ahead of the fire and then shifts directions so that the flank becomes the head

Active fires burned through the night in central BC due to drought (traditional and flash -- associated with a strong blocking upper ridge). Smoke from these fires evident in the GOES-West geocolor loop. Potential for more fire starts today and for the development of Pyrocbs (fire generated tstms)

Pyrocb (fire generated thunderstorm) on the #GarnetFire on the GOES-West geocolor loop below. Expect rapid growth.

Lots of active fires in the NWT this evening. Some pyrocu to the right of the gold line. Notice the south winds near the surface but as the column rises the winds shift to westerly

Here is the GOES-West geocolor loop - last I saw the #DollarFire was listed at 600 acres
wfca.com/fire-map/wyo...
expect it is several thousand acres now

Rapidly growing fire El Dorado county California- Coyote Fire.
GOES-West geocolor loop below. Cal Fire has it listed at 400 acres but the loop suggests it is larger than that.

Fire and Hurricanes? Yes, a long way off but keep a watch on Erin as it moves NE with the prec. staying offshore but the wind field could influence fires in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. ECMWF loop below Tropical systems impacting fires has happened in Europe (Opheila 2017) and Australia.
