After fire managers reported no increase in the size of the Frijoles Fire on Wednesday, New Mexico鈥檚 largest wildfire this month grew by around 400 acres Thursday as thunderstorms returned to the north-central region, raising the chance of rain 鈥� as well as lightning strikes.

Cole Euken, a certified real-time operations manager for the wildfire-tracking website , estimated the size of the fire on Thursday evening at 8,196 acres from 7,794 acres reported Wednesday.

While confirmation is pending from U.S. Forest Service officials at the scene of the Frijoles Fire, Watch Duty also reported that containment of the fire had shifted from 1% back to 0%.

The update came as thunderstorms darkened the skies around northern New Mexico Thursday evening, substantiating National Weather Service forecasts that called for the return of monsoon weather to northern New Mexico.

As meteorologists explained to the Journal a day after the Frijoles Fire was discovered in the Pecos Wilderness east of Namb茅 following lightning strikes on Aug. 4, monsoon thunderstorms so far this season have been drier than usual, providing little moisture to dampen the effects of thunderbolt-caused wildfires.

Thunderstorms also create erratic high wind gusts known as outflows, which can drive fire growth, and heavy precipitation is a perennial concern in the state鈥檚 burn scar areas.

Also on Thursday, Santa Fe County added the remote Borrego Mesa area on and around forest roads 440 and 306 to its list of locations set to 鈥淩eady鈥� status, meaning anyone who might be in the region should begin preparations to evacuate.

The county has evacuated only one area so far due to the Frijoles Fire: Camino de Ca帽on in Cundiy贸, a street with about 10 houses west of the fire that was set to 鈥淕o鈥� status on Monday.

The remainder of Cundiy贸 and Cerro Pi帽on remain in 鈥淪et鈥� status, the final stage in the 鈥淩eady, Set, Go鈥� emergency notification system before an evacuation is ordered. The village of Cordova is still in Ready status.

Fire officials are hosting a community meeting regarding the Frijoles Fire on Friday at 6 p.m. at McCurdy Ministries in McCracken Gym. The meeting will also be livestreamed on the .
