I got this U.S. current weather watch/warning map from http://www.nws.noaa.gov/largemap.php and I've looked at these maps before but the one for today has a lot of stuff going on. The main thing I see is the bright pinkish area in the central part of the country where all of these counties are in a red flag warning, which means that these areas are extremely dry and windy which is a good recipe for wildfires to sprout. Another thing I found interesting is the dark blue to the west which is a winter storm watch which seems so early in the year and especially odd that there's a watch in Nevada and Utah. Nevada and parts of Northwestern Arizona are also in a flood warning too. The last thing I found to be interesting on this map is looking at Texas and all of the grey counties which represents an air quality alert. This could possibly be from all of the wildfires that have taken place here in the last month.
