2023 Season
Wildfire Outlook 

The Central Sierra region received about two-thirds of the average precipitation this winter. It is anticipated to be above-normal significant forecast with large fire potential expected in most areas below 6000 feet in June. In July and August, the lower grass-dominated areas will return to normal due to the lack of wind events, while upper elevations experience above-normal significant large fire potential.
