UNITED STATES — RED FLAG WARNINGS FELL 4 TO 0 WHILE THE NATIONAL LEDGER REFRESHED FROM A SEP-11 TO A SEP-14 STAMP: PL3 HELD, UNCONTAINED LARGE FIRES 27 TO 57, YTD 54,407 FIRES AND 8,435,367 ACRES

Two things moved in opposite directions and only one of them is weather. The fire-weather footprint went to zero — Red Flag Warnings 4 to 0. The ledger meanwhile refreshed from a Sep-11 to a Sep-14 stamp: national Preparedness Level 3 held, uncontained large fires read 57 against the 27 carried under the stale stamp — the count catching up on the refresh, not a one-day doubling — with 54,407 fires and 8,435,367 acres year-to-date and about 13,100 personnel assigned.

19 turning points on record since Jul 24 — the 8 most recent shown.
