tl;dr: "[F]orecasters predict prolonged, persistent drought in the West where below-average precipitation is most likely," and above average temperatures for the Desert Southwest. And that means more wildfires.

Here's the NOAA.gov article:

Here's CBS's coverage / summary of the report.

Excerpts from the NOAA.gov link:

• Dry conditions will bring an elevated risk of wildfires across the Southwest

• Drought conditions in the Southwest are unlikely to improve until the late summer monsoon rainfall begins.

• Below-average temperatures are most likely in the Pacific Northwest

• Spring snowmelt in the western U.S. is unlikely to cause flooding.

This report [PDF] from the National Interagency Fire Center, which is sort of like NOAA but for wildfires, is predicting elevated wildfire risk in the west this year.
