Wildfires can generate tornadoes, lightning and other extreme weather, sometimes miles from the flames

"We often think about weather controlling wildfires: dry air, heat, wind and
lightning help determine when fires start and how quickly they spread.

However, once a wildfire becomes intense enough, the relationship can flip.
Instead of simply responding to the weather, the fire begins to create its own
weather.

I study wildfires and air quality at the University of Texas at Arlington. Here
are four key ways wildfires influence the weather around them"
