Buckhead Complex crews fight new fires Saturday
NOAA WEST
This NOAA satellite image taken Saturday, August 18, 2012 at 11:00 AM EDT shows clouds extend northward from the Southwest and into the Pacific Northwest. This creates chances of showers and thunderstorms across the region, while cloudy skies over most of the West Coast maintain cooler temperatures. Prevailing hot and dry surface conditions, in combination with thunderstorm activity, increases fire danger across the Intermountain West, Pacific Northwest, and California.
