Oregon wildfire creates own weather as fires across Northwest burn

The video discusses the severe wildfires in Eastern Oregon, highlighting how they are creating pyrocumulus clouds due to intense heat. These clouds can form their own weather systems, leading to wind, rain, and lightning, which further exacerbate the fires. The Dirky Fire has grown significantly, closing parts of Interstate 84 and prompting evacuations. The US Forest Service is operating at its highest response level, with 14 large wildfires burning in the Pacific Northwest. The region is experiencing a dry spell, making conditions ripe for more fires. The situation is expected to remain challenging with above-average temperatures.
