Check the map on weather.gov for your area. If you are in Wyoming or Montana, check yours as well! Probably Nebraska and Kansas too.

Colorado did have one big fire from last night's winds (I've heard varying numbers on size between 12k and 40k acres) but thankfully it was out in a very sparsely populated area of mostly grassland, so impacts were minimal. There were a few others, but they all got caught quickly.
