Late-Jun fire weather threat (via heat-to-wind event) likely in West; Another federal science update

The latest in a recurring series of live, virtual, & interactive #weather and #climate-focused "office hours" hosted by Dr. Daniel Swain. 06/22/2026 topic: I'll discuss the potential for a significant and widespread fire weather threat across much of the Western United States beginning in ~5 days as an unusual summer wind event arrives following a significant heatwave and amid a severe drought.
