California wildfire causing hazy skies in San Diego; extreme heat warning later this week

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Parts of eastern San Diego County and Imperial County will be under an extreme heat warning later this week, while wildfires burning in central California brought some cloud coverage to San Diego over the weekend. Satellite and radar showed smoke traveling south from the Gifford Fire burning in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties that mixed with coastal cirrus clouds moving east from the Pacific Ocean to create hazy conditions across San Diego County on Sunday, according to the National Weather Service. Much of San Diego County remained at a normal to moderate air quality Sunday, reports, meaning those unusually sensitive to air pollutants could be impacted and are urged to reduce time outdoors. Heat Risk/Extreme Heat Warning Portions of Southwest Arizona and Southeast and Southern California will be under an extreme heat warning from 10 a.m. Wednesday to 8 p.m. Friday, the National Weather Service reports. The heat will peak Wednesday into Thursday, with temperatures expected to reach 106 to 118 degrees in those areas. The National Weather Service forecasts Ramona has a 65% chance temperatures could reach over 100 degrees on Thursday. When in an area under an extreme heat warning, the National Weather Service advises to limit time spent outdoors, drink plenty of water, wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing and to keep an eye out for signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Public cooling centers are available in San Diego County for anyone needing a safe place to stay while extreme heat warnings are in place. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Tropical Storm Gil briefly becomes hurricane: See tracker

Tropical Storm Gil strengthened to become a hurricane in the Pacific Ocean before weakening again into a tropical storm, the National Hurricane Center said Aug. 2. As of 5 a.m. Hawaii Standard Time on Saturday, Aug. 2, Tropical Storm Gil was about 1,250 miles west of the southern tip of Baja California, far from the Hawaiian islands. There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect, according to the hurricane center, part of the National Weather Service. Gil was a tropical storm on Friday, Aug. 1, before becoming a hurricane overnight. Then, it was downgraded back to a tropical storm on Saturday morning. When a tropical storm's winds reach 74 mph, the storm officially becomes a hurricane. Maximum sustained winds decreased to 70 mph with higher gusts, forecasters said. Tropical storm-force winds extended outward to 140 miles from Gil's center. Context: A key sign of hurricane activity has flipped into high gear The storm is expected to continue weakening through the weekend, the hurricane center said. It will be come post-tropical as early as Sunday. It was moving west-northwest near 20 mph, and it was expected to continue through the weekend. By Monday, the system is forecast to move more slowly westward. Also in the Pacific, Tropical Depression Iona, over 1,400 miles west of Honolulu, continued weakening as it was expected to cross the International Date Line on Saturday, according to a hurricane center advisory.

Hurricanes are born in the tropics, above warm water. Clusters of thunderstorms can develop over the ocean when water temperatures exceed 80 degrees Fahrenheit. If conditions are right, the clusters swirl into a storm known as a tropical wave or tropical depression. A tropical depression becomes a named tropical storm once its sustained wind speeds reach 39 miles per hour. When its winds reach 74 mph, the storm officially becomes a hurricane. Prepare now for hurricanes Delaying potentially life-saving preparations could mean waiting until it's too late. "Get your disaster supplies while the shelves are still stocked, and get that insurance checkup early, as flood insurance requires a 30-day waiting period," NOAA recommends. Develop an evacuation plan: If you are at risk from hurricanes, you need an evacuation plan. Now is the time to begin planning where you would go and how you would get there. Assemble disaster supplies: Whether you're evacuating or sheltering-in-place, you're going to need supplies not just to get through the storm but for the potentially lengthy aftermath, NOAA said. Get an insurance checkup and document your possessions: Contact your insurance company or agent now and ask for an insurance check-up to make sure you have enough insurance to repair or even replace your home and/or belongings. Remember, home and renters insurance doesn't cover flooding, so you'll need a separate policy for it. Flood insurance is available through your company, agent, or the National Flood Insurance Program. Act now, as flood insurance requires a 30-day waiting period. Create a family communication plan: NOAA said to take the time now to write down your hurricane plan, and share it with your family. Determine family meeting places, and make sure to include an out-of-town location in case of evacuation. Strengthen your home: Now is the time to improve your home's ability to withstand hurricane impacts. Trim trees; install storm shutters, accordion shutters, and/or impact glass; seal outside wall openings.

Over a Million Americans Told to Combine Errands as Alert Hits 9 States

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Air quality alerts had been issued for nine states as of Sunday morning, with residents in some areas advised to combine errands in order to help reduce pollution levels. Why It Matters According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), studies have linked particle pollution exposure to various health effects, including respiratory symptoms—such as coughing and wheezing, the development of asthma and increased susceptibility to respiratory infections. What To Know In collaboration with local agencies, the National Weather Service (NWS) had published air quality alerts for the following states as of Sunday: Minnesota Wisconsin Michigan Illinois Indiana New York Vermont Maine New Hampshire These were issued due to potentially hazardous levels of fine particulate pollution triggered by wildfire smoke flowing into the U.S. from neighboring Canada. In Indiana, advisories affecting over a million residents across numerous counties, including but not limited to Lake, Porter, and Elkheart, advised locals to take steps to help reduce pollution such as avoiding the use of drive-thru lanes and combining errands into one trip. Authorities also suggested limiting vehicle use by walking, biking, or using public transportation if possible. Air quality alerts had been in effect for parts of the U.S. for multiple days due to Canadian wildfire smoke. In a social media post on Friday, AccuWeather reported that the smoke resulted in Chicago having "the worst air quality in the world for several hours and blanketing the skyline in haze" What People Are Saying AccuWeather meteorologist Dan Pydynowski told Newsweek on Friday: "Smoke and haze creating poor air quality at times will likely continue to be an issue in [the Great Lakes, Upper Midwest and central U.S.] through the weekend and into early next week. "The smoke/haze will gradually spread south and east later this weekend into early next week as well, perhaps getting into parts of the Northeast U.S. and the central-southern Plains too." NWS Burlington, Vermont, said on X, formerly Twitter, Saturday: "If you've noticed it becoming hazier this afternoon, you're not mistaken. Canadian wildfire smoke is again entering the region and it is expected to linger for a couple days. Air Quality Alerts have been issued area-wide for tomorrow." The National Weather Service said in a post on X, Friday: "The view from our GOES East satellite at sunrise revealed widespread wildfire smoke that is resulting in large areas of unhealthy air quality, and Air Quality Alerts for at least portions of eight U.S. states. Take precautions." What Happens Next The NWS issues updates regularly on its website.
