Crews struggle to contain massive California wildfire that's injured 3 people
SANTA MARIA, Calif. (AP) — A massive wildfire is churning through Los Padres National Forest in central California, threatening hundreds of homes and injuring at least three people, authorities said. The Gifford Fire spans more than 100 square miles (259 square km) of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, with just 3 percent containment, according to a Monday incident update. The blaze grew out of several smaller fires that erupted Friday along State Route 166 between Santa Maria and Bakersfield. More than 450 structures are under threat. One resident was hospitalized with burn injuries and two contract employees assisting firefighters were hurt when their all-terrain vehicle overturned, authorities said. More than 1,000 firefighters working in hot and dry conditions are scrambling to make progress against the flames before so-called sundowner winds whip up around dusk. The National Weather Service says erratic afternoon gusts could reach 25 mph (40 kph) in the fire area.

Hudson Valley weather: Warm, sunny and hazy Aug. 4 in Westchester, Rockland, Putnam
The Lower Hudson Valley can expect some warm and sunny weather for the first full week of August, but residents will want to be ready for air quality issues due to Canadian wildfires. The National Weather Service issued an air quality alert for Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties Monday, Aug. 4, valid until midnight Aug. 5, thanks to raging wildfires up north in Canada. Lower Hudson Valley air quality alert Monday, Aug. 4 NYSDEC said ground level ozone and particulate matter in the air due to wildfires in Ontario could exceed safe air quality index levels over 100. As of 9:45 a.m., measured the Lower Hudson Valley's Air Quality Index as "Moderate," with an AQI score of 74, an Ozone level of 14 and a particulate matter level of 101. NYSDEC says the risk for individuals who may be prone to respiratory illness was expected to increase as the day continues, and temperatures rise. At-risk populations for poor air quality include "the very young, and those with preexisting respiratory problems such as asthma or heart disease," said NWS in the alert. NYSDEC said those at risk should stay inside and limit physical activity. Sunny skies and warm temperatures to kick off August Despite air quality issues, Monday is presenting itself to be a beautiful day. There will be some widespread haze due to the smoke from the Canadian wildfires, but skies will be sunny with high temperatures near 89 degrees. Overnight, the haze is expected to stick around with partly cloudy skies and lows near 66 degrees. Tuesday and Wednesday should look similar to Monday. Tuesday should bring mostly sunny skies with high temps near 88 in the day and lows near 66 overnight. Wednesday should also be sunny, with a bit more clouds in the sky and lower temperatures compared to the beginning of the week, near 84 degrees. Overnight will be mostly cloudy again with temperatures at a steady 66 degrees.

Air quality ‘moderate' in most of Cook County from Canadian wildfire smoke, but worse in northern Illinois
For the fifth day in a row, Chicago's sky looks hazy. Smoke from Canadian wildfires continues to affect air quality across the Midwest, though Monday's conditions were an improvement for most of the Chicago area. Monday morning, most of the city had moved into 'moderate' on the U.S. Air Quality Index, meaning the air is safe for most but potentially a risk to those particularly sensitive to air quality. The northern part of Cook County, however — especially around O'Hare International Airport — were still listed as 'unhealthy for sensitive groups.' Air quality alerts issued across Illinois as Chicago ranks worst in the world. But how safe are you inside your home?As wind picks up later Monday afternoon, the layer of smoke hazing Chicago's skyline is expected to disperse. There will still be some smoke tomorrow, however, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Mark Ratzer. Chicago will see a high of 82 Monday, or a few degrees cooler by the Lakefront. Ratzer expected wind speeds up to 10 mph, with partly to mostly cloudy skies throughout the day. Temperatures are expected to rise throughout the rest of the week. Tuesday will bring mostly sunny skies and slightly warmer temperatures, with a high in the mid-80s. There is a 20% chance of thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday, temperatures will climb into the upper 80s; Thursday through Saturday, into the lower 90s, and Sunday back down to the 80s. Sunday also has a chance of afternoon showers or thunderstorms. Humidity will increase slightly throughout the week but Ratzer emphasized it will not be like the extreme heat conditions Chicagoans dealt with in the last few weeks.
