Since April 6, more than a million acres have burned throughout the state of Texas, according to the Texas Forest Service. This image, taken by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA?s Aqua satellite, shows conditions on April 15, 2011. Wind whipped both smoke and dust southeast across the state. The fires detected by MODIS are marked in red.

Though temperatures are expected to dip Wednesday, they were predicted to ramp back up on Thursday and Friday Such weather has taxed the resources available to fight the fires. Conditions this spring are the driest they?ve been in Texas since 1917, said a Texas Forest Service spokeswoman.
