Lightning strikes near the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area during a thunderstorm, August 14, 2026. Lightning strikes during the summer monsoon pose an ignition hazard across timber and brush on the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest often starting smoldering fires which remain hidden for days. As humidity drops and winds pick up days later, these sleeper fires could erupt into active wildfires. (Forest Service photo by Marc Sanchez)
