Forecasters predict toasty temperatures will stretch through the summer in the U.S. And that's a bad sign for wildfires in the West. The forecast for June through August calls for warmer-than-normal weather for about three-quarters of the nation, the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration said Thursday. [...] the outlook for summer is "more of the same," said Jon Gottschalck, head of forecast operations at NOAA's Climate Prediction Center in Camp Springs, Md. "There's definitely a tilt toward being above normal through the summer." Forecasters say the combination of the heat and dryness will only make western wildfires worse.
