Tsunami advisory expires along California coast south of Santa Barbara County, National Weather Service says
Both the Los Angeles and San Diego field offices for the NWS confirmed that advisories expired across the entirety of the coast in Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties. As of 6:20 a.m., advisories were still in place from the southern border of Santa Barbara County and the Humboldt and Del Norte County line.
The advisories were issued after a massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck near the Kamchatka Peninsula in eastern Russia around 4:30 p.m. Pacific. From then on, the entire West Coast of the U.S. was placed on a tsunami watch, later upgraded to an advisory.
The advisory was also lifted in Hawaii, but not before large portions of the state were subject to evacuation orders. No major damages have been reported yet.

For second day, August in D.C. showed summer at its best
Seldom does so drastic a regime change occur in the realm of weather as in D.C. between August and July. Friday and especially Saturday, the first days of the new month seemed blissfully different from the steamy, sweltering, sultry month that came before. The design committee for Saturday, in particular, appeared to find a way to deport and decertify almost every objectionable aspect of summer. Saturday seemed a rare day that embraced all the best of Washington's sunshine season, warm and comfortable rather than hot and miserable. Still grateful for the departure of blazing July, the nation's capital seemed to enjoy Saturday all the more by contrasting it with what was so recently endured. Endure seemed not a word to apply to Saturday's conditions, except of course to wish that they might somehow last long and avoid replacement by the sultry steaminess that a summer day in the city so readily provides. The high temperature in the city was a more-than-bearable, and actually quite pleasant 82 degrees. It was seven below the normal high for Aug. 2 in the District. As of 5 p.m., the day's low read 66. That falls into territory many experienced practitioners of shut-eye regard as good sleeping weather. It was, of course, made all the more pleasant by falling on a Saturday, reducing the need for early rising, for work or school. Many people do not file their recollections of weather by date. So it might not be amiss to demonstrate the attractiveness of Saturday's conditions by comparing them with those experienced last year on Saturday's date. On Aug. 2, 2024, Washington's high reached 99 degrees, and in the morning went no lower than 80. Although it may seem as much a matter of accountancy as meteorology, the difference in weather between last year and this may be expressed this way: Saturday's high temperature was only two degrees above last year's Aug. 2 low temperature. It might be called a Tale of Two Cities if it didn't describe only one city, Washington. Consider the heat index. It is regarded as a 'feels-like' temperature. Often it describes unpleasantness far worse than the thermometer will say. But on Saturday the heat index and the thermometer reading were about the same. On Saturday, the dew point, another indicator of discomfort, dwelled in the 50s for much of the day and suggested that there was a lack of discomfort to indicate. The air felt sweet and soft, and perhaps almost reminiscent of spring. Clouds did abound but blue skies could be seen. In late afternoon, sunbeams slanted down from openings in a cluster of clouds, and these shafts of sunlight appeared as silvery streaks against the gray. How such a day came to be Washington's lot, who should be credited with creating it, what borders it may have crossed, what the costs were, which taxes and tolls were paid or forgiven, all seemed good questions. For another day.

NYC flooding pours into subway as state declares emergency
STORY: :: Chantal McLaughlin :: Flooding in New York City pours into the subway as the state declares an emergency :: July 31, 2025 :: New York :: Train service has been suspended in some parts of the city :: Newark, New Jersey Reuters was able to independently verify the location of the videos by the New York City subway design that matched file imagery as well as confirmation by the source. The date when the video was filmed was verified by original file metadata. Train service has been suspended in some parts of the city as a state of emergency was declared for the Bronx, Delaware, Dutchess, Kings, Nassau, New York, Orange, Putnam, Queens, Richmond, Rockland, Suffolk, Sullivan, Ulster, Westchester and Contiguous Counties. New York Governor Kathy Hochul and her acting counterpart in New Jersey said they were declaring states of emergency for areas facing the threat of extreme flash floods forecast on Thursday (July 31) for much of the Eastern Seaboard. The National Weather Service posted flash flood warnings along parts of the Northeast urban corridor stretching from the Washington-Baltimore region north through Philadelphia, Wilmington, Delaware, and into the New York City metropolitan area. Severe thunderstorm watches were also in effect across much of the Interstate-95 corridor. Up to 5 inches (12.7 cm) of rain was forecast in the heaviest bands of showers expected across New York City, Long Island and the Hudson River Valley, with rainfall rates that could exceed 2 inches per hour, according to a statement from Hochul. The Weather Service attributed the storm threat to a cold front that was bringing a combination of unstable air mass and exceptional amounts of atmospheric moisture to the region.

Dragon Bravo fire grows to largest wildfire in the continental US
'We're kind of locked in a dry, breezy, abnormally hot pattern because our monsoon hasn't showed up,' said Benjamin Peterson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Flagstaff, Ariz. Smoke and a pyrocumulus cloud rose at sunset from the Dragon Bravo fire at the Grand Canyon, as seen from Mather Point on Monday. Jon Gambrell/Associated Press A seasonal shift in winds typically brings moisture from the Gulf and the Pacific Ocean to the Southwest starting in late June through September. Thunderstorms wet the landscape, and the air is humid. Not this year. The monsoon season has been very dry so far, the third driest ever, Peterson said. Many areas of Arizona saw below-normal rainfall in July. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up A gauge in the park measured about an inch of rain in July, with most of it falling early in the month. That's more than a half an inch less than normal. Related : Advertisement Humidity levels were expected to drop into the single digits this weekend. Low humidity means the air is dry, which pulls moisture from the vegetation, making it more flammable. There's hope, though, that the monsoon season will pick up. 'So far, the monsoon season has only existed in short bursts,' Peterson said. 'It could be delayed, and we could catch up. Longer-range models do not really support this, but it only takes a very wet week or two to change that.' Advertisement A lightning strike July 4 ignited the Dragon Bravo fire, which was named after a rock formation called the Dragon that's close to where the blaze started. 'Bravo' was added to the name to differentiate it from a previous Dragon fire in the same general area in 2022. In Alaska, the Klikhtentotzna fire in Yukon-Koyukuk has burned for more than a month. It covered more than 118,000 acres as of Saturday, making it the largest in the country. The Dragon Bravo Fire on the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park, visible at night from Mather Point on the South Rim in Grand Canyon Village, on July 14. BRIDGET BENNETT/NYT National Park Service officials initially allowed the Dragon Bravo fire to burn, a forest management tool used to improve the health of a forest by thinning overgrown vegetation that can serve as fuel for catastrophic fires. In the days that followed, the fire slowly grew. Then, on July 11, strong winds developed and the fire jumped containment lines, Governor Katie Hobbs of Arizona has called for an investigation into why the federal government decided to manage the fire as a 'controlled burn.' Firefighters are now actively fighting the wildfire. 'This is a full suppression,' said Lisa Jennings, a spokesperson for the Southwest Area Incident Management Team, which is overseeing the firefighting operations. The fire has shut down the North Rim and all hiking trails in this remote area of the national park. The South Rim, which gets 90% of the park's visitors, remains open. Advertisement Trails between the two rims, including the Bright Angel and the Kaibab trails, are closed because of poor air quality from smoke. The mile-deep Grand Canyon cuts between the North Rim and South Rim, providing a natural fire break. Related : The fire burning on the North Rim is visible 11 miles away on the South Rim. 'In the Grand Canyon Historic Village area, if you look directly north, the fire is at 12 o'clock, right across the canyon,' Jennings said. 'You can see the flames at night. You can see clouds of smoke during the day.' Visitors gathered at Mather Point on the South Rim as smoke from the Dragon Bravo Fire rose at dawn, on July 15. BRIDGET BENNETT/NYT The fire has been burning through dense, mixed conifer forest with trees, including Douglas fir, more than 100 feet tall on the North Rim. The vegetation is extremely parched and flammable from the dry, windy weather. 'This fire behavior we're seeing is unprecedented,' Jennings said. 'We have had consistently gusty winds with this dry spell for the past eight days. There's lots of fuel to burn through.' Jennings said the topography of the Grand Canyon had made fighting the fire especially challenging as wind was funneled through the canyon and the smaller finger canyons, causing the wind to accelerate. The wind has been carrying burning embers more than a mile away and rapidly spreading the wildfire. 'The canyon creates its own weather,' Jennings said. 'It's hard to even get across how complex the situation is here.' The most active part of the fire is just outside the park in the Kaibab National Forest. Firefighters are focused on protecting the Kaibab Lodge and its guest cabins, 5 miles from the North Rim entrance. The fire is close to the lodge but on the other side of Highway 67, which is the entrance road into the North Rim. Advertisement This article originally appeared in .
