Triple-digit temperatures continue to bake Texas and other parts of the South-Cities like Abilene, Austin, Houston, Laredo and Corpus Christi could set daily record highs in the coming days-June 20, 2023, 10:49 AM EDT-By Kathryn Prociv
Parts of the South, especially across Texas, have been enduring a blistering heat event for days, where temperatures have soared above 100 degrees. These temperatures, when combined with high humidity, have made it feel more like 110-120 degrees.On Monday, Houston saw their first 100-degree day of the year. This was about a month earlier than average, as they typically don’t hit 100 degrees until July 19.On Tuesday, 32 million people remained under heat advisories and excessive heat warnings across the Southern tier including parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and New Mexico. In some locations, the heat index will be hotter than 120 degrees.The Weather Prediction Center’s Greg Carbin tweeted that “just under 30 million people will experience at least 3 hours of a Heat Index of at least 105 degrees.” This included people within the large metro areas of Oklahoma City, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio.Tuesday will be the hottest day of the week for many, as temperatures climb to 10 to 15 degrees above average.With highs forecast to eclipse the century mark, cities like Abilene, Austin, Houston, Laredo and Corpus Christi could set daily record highs in the coming days.
wet winter may impact the U.S. wildfire season-May 24, 2023, 10:37 AM EDT-By Evan Bush
Wildfire season in most parts of the western United States could be delayed this summer with heavy snow still covering many mountain ranges, national fire forecasters say. Still, the risk of damaging wildfires continues to trend upward as the climate warms, one factor making it more difficult to predict how the season will shake out. Forecasters and fire ecology experts said changes to fire behavior make it challenging to predict conditions in the late summer and the early fall. Fire seasons are growing longer. Hotter temperatures zap fuels of their moisture faster. And more people are living near the wilderness — and potentially, in harm's way. Jim Wallmann, a meteorologist for the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho, said “the likelihood of getting something big early in the year is greatly reduced.” The NIFC is predicting above-normal fire activity in parts of the Pacific Northwest, including eastern Oregon and central Washington, in July and August. Elsewhere in the West, forecasters are predicting normal or below-normal fire activity for those months. “With these really wet winters, you think there’s going to be a quieter fire season and they generally start slower,” Wallmann said. “What ends up happening is your fuels still dry out faster than they used to.” Even if the season starts slowly — it could be the finish that matters most. Many factors determine the dynamic of a fire season. While it might seem like a wet winter would play a dramatic role, experts say it’s easy to overstate its influence. “There’s not a strong correlation between winter precipitation and the next season’s fire outlook,” said Craig Clements, the director of the Wildfire Interdisciplinary Research Center at San Jose State University. Fuel moisture — how wet sticks, logs and grasses are on the landscape — is a better indicator of wildfire risk. This year, with many areas of California and the Great Basin receiving more than twice as much snow as is typical, researchers expect the snowpack’s melt to keep fuels from drying out quickly. The snowpack will also reduce access to high country wilderness to humans, the most frequent fire-starters in the U.S. Both of these factors should delay the fire season. “What happens after that? It all depends — it depends how quickly temperatures increase during summer, how long they stay hot and how hot they become,” said Erica Fleishman, a professor at Oregon State University and the director of the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute. “The vegetation can still dry out very quickly.” In some areas, the wet winter could boost wildfire intensity. For some plants, including nonnative grasses like cheatgrass, abnormal amounts of winter moisture can spur extra growth — creating more fuel, and fire potential, late in the summer. “Cheatgrass responds well to winter precipitation,” Fleishman said. “It can lead to greater wildfire likelihood and larger wildfires.” While most western states had wet years, parts of the Pacific Northwest did not. Nearly half of Oregon is in drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. “In much of the Pacific Northwest, the snowpack was high, but total precipitation was not,” Fleishman said. “The deep snowpack more reflected cold temperatures rather than a lot of precipitation.” Seasonal outlooks call for high temperatures and fire weather in central Washington and eastern Oregon. “We’re looking at a little bit above average for temperature across the state for the June through August period and a little drier than normal,” said Vaughn Cork, a fuels analyst with the Washington Department of Natural Resources. “It looks like it will be relatively mild through probably June. And then as our grass starts to cure out in the Columbia Basin, we’ll start to see a few large fires out in the grasslands and once those start hitting the foothills, the timber becomes available.” An unseasonable heat wave that began this month prompted an early melt and allowed grasses to get an early start on growing. “That’s something we’re paying attention to,” Wallmann said. Although the wet winter could slow wildfires in the early summer, climate change is shifting baselines for wildfires across the West. A Climate Central analysis published Wednesday found a dramatic increase in the number of fire weather days in western states. The analysis, which evaluated measures of temperature, relative humidity and wind speed, found that some areas in Southern California and New Mexico are seeing an additional two months of fire weather each year than they were a century ago. Some parts of California, Oregon and Washington have twice as much fire weather, the analysis shows. “Should a fire break out, it’s much more likely to be extreme,” said Kaitlyn Trudeau, a researcher at Climate Central. “It’s an increase in the chance this fire is going to blow up into a much bigger beast than if it wasn’t so hot, dry and windy.” The area affected by wildland fires doubled from 1984 to 2015, according to research cited in the National Climate Assessment, with climate change playing a large role by drying out fuels. Other factors — such as more people in wildland areas and a build-up of fuels because of historic fire suppression — are also contributing to the increase in acres burned. What’s normal — or considered a quiet fire year in the U.S. — is being redefined, said Brian Harvey, a University of Washington forestry scientist and assistant professor. Federal wildland fire agencies began tracking the number of acres burned nationwide in 1983. Harvey noted that just one fire season saw more than 6 million acres burned from 1983 to 2000.“We’ve seen 13 years since 2000 where we’ve seen 6 million acres burned,” he said. “It’s a qualitatively different way to think about what is a normal fire year compared to decades ago.”But the historical record contains evidence of large wildfires and big seasons of smoke. Ecosystems benefit from wildfire. They are adapted to it.“It’s easy to get in our mind that all fire is going to be bad,” Harvey said. “From an ecological standpoint, fire is a critical agent of resilience in our ecosyste.
B.C. evacuation order rescinded but district says wildfire remains ‘volatile’ Donnie Creek blaze accounts for about 62 per cent of the total area burned in B.C. so far this year-The Canadian PressJun. 20, 2023 7:30 a.m.News
The Donnie Creek wildfire near Trutch, B.C., is shown in a handout photo. The Donnie Creek blaze has grown in recent days to become the largest wildfire recorded in British Columbia history, spanning more than 5,500 square kilometres. THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO-Facebook-BC Wildfire ServiceThe Donnie Creek wildfire near Trutch, B.C., is shown in a handout photo. The Donnie Creek blaze has grown in recent days to become the largest wildfire recorded in British Columbia history, spanning more than 5,500 square kilometres. THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO-Facebook-BC Wildfire ServiceThe Peace River Regional District says residents of 14 properties in rural areas north of Fort St. John may return home after being ordered to leave due to a record-breaking wildfire, though the situation remains “volatile.”It follows the lifting of another evacuation order for properties east of Highway 97, but the district says people should be prepared to leave again on short notice.The Donnie Creek blaze has grown in recent days to become the largest wildfire recorded in British Columbia history, spanning more than 5,500 square kilometres.An update from the BC Wildfire Service says the wildfire accounts for about 62 per cent of the total area burned in the province so far this season.Wildfires have charred nearly 8,700 square kilometres since April 1, eclipsing the 20-year average of about 162 square kilometres for the same time of year.A fire that forced the closure of a key highway connecting communities on the west coast of Vancouver Island has meanwhile been declared under control, and the province says it’s on track to reopen to single-lane alternating traffic this weekend.A statement from the Transportation Ministry says crews have cleared the stretch of Highway 4 east of Port Alberni of trees and debris that had tumbled down over steep terrain, and work is underway to install temporary safety measures.It says those measures include a concrete barrier and protective “mesh curtains” suspended by cranes to prevent debris from falling onto the route.A backroad detour remains open and local airlines have added flights to meet demand for travel to and from cut-off communities, including Tofino and Ucluelet.
Donnie Creek Wildfire now the largest in B.C.’s history: Wildfire Service-Fire in Northeastern corner of the province now estimated at more than 5,343 square kilometres-The Canadian PressJun. 19, 2023 7:30 a.m.News
The Donnie Creek wildfire has grown into the largest blaze ever recorded in British Columbia, BC Wildfire Service said Sunday.The fire, which is burning south of Fort Nelson in northeastern B.C., is now estimated at more than 5,343 square kilometres in size.It surpasses the Plateau fire that charred 5,210 square kilometres northwest of Williams Lake in 2017 and was previously considered the province’s largest fire.The Donnie Creek wildfire is one of about 80 fires burning across the province.B.C. Wildfire Service Information Officer Marg Drysdale said crews are focused on protecting infrastructure and the Alaska Highway, but expect the blaze to continue to grow throughout the summer.“We will have crews on it into the fall. It is an ongoing event,” she said in a telephone interview.The service lists the fire as out of control, noting that it is highly visible and may pose a threat to public safety. It said 250 BC Wildfire Service personnel, including 152 firefighters, are working to control the blaze.“Our crews are working on areas where they believe they can have the best results and it would lessen the impact to people in infrastructure in the area,” Drysdale said.She explained the fire was started by lightning but is currently the result of about eight fires that grew quickly and merged into one blaze.“It’s really important for people right across the province to understand that we have not hit the fire season that we normally see in July and August,” she said.“We’re in the middle of June. If conditions continue as they have, if we get a hot summer, we are going to see more impacts.”This comes as the Peace River Regional District cancelled its evacuation order for Trutch and the surrounding areas, meaning residents can return home.Earlier Sunday, the district also rescinded its evacuation order for the One Island Lake community, which is impacted by the 250-square-kilometre West Kiskatinaw wildfire.Though the district said people from that area may return home, an evacuation alert remains in place so they should continue to be prepared to leave on short notice.
A third day of smoky air gives millions in US East Coast, Canada a new view of wildfire threat-By JENNIFER PELTZ and ROB GILLIES-June 8, 2023
NEW YORK (AP) — Images of smoke obscuring the New York skyline and the Washington Monument this week have given the world a new picture of the perils of wildfire, far from where blazes regularly turn skies into hazardous haze.A third day of unhealthy air from Canadian wildfires may have been an unnerving novelty for millions of people on the U.S. East Coast, but it was a reminder of conditions routinely troubling the country’s West — and a wake-up call about the future, scientists say.“This is kind of an astounding event” but likely to become more common amid global warming, said Justin Mankin, a Dartmouth College geography professor and climate scientist. “This is something that we, as the eastern side of the country, need to take quite seriously.”Millions of residents could see that for themselves Thursday. The conditions sent asthma sufferers to hospitals, delayed flights, postponed ballgames and even pushed back a White House Pride Month celebration. The fires sent plumes of fine particulate matter as far away as North Carolina and northern Europe and parked clumps of air rated unhealthy or worse over the heavily populated Eastern Seaboard.At points this week, air quality in places including New York, the nation’s most populous city, nearly hit the top of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s air-pollution scale. Local officials urged people to stay indoors as much as possible and wear face masks when they venture out.Such conditions are nothing new — indeed, increasingly frequent — on the U.S. West Coast, where residents were buying masks and air filters even before the coronavirus pandemic and have become accustomed to checking air quality daily in summertime. Since 2017, California has seen eight of its 10 largest wildfires and six of the most destructive.The hazardous air has sometimes forced children, older adults and people with asthma and other respiratory conditions to stay indoors for weeks at a time. Officials have opened smoke shelters for people who are homeless or who might not have access to clean indoor air.So what’s the big deal about the smoke out East? “The West has always burned, as has Canada, but what’s important now is that we’re getting these massive amounts of smoke in a very populated region, so many, many people are getting affected,” said Loretta Mickley, the co-leader of Harvard University’s Atmospheric Chemistry Modeling Group.Fueled by an unusually dry and warm period in spring, the Canadian fire season that is just getting started could well become the worst on record. More than 400 blazes burned Thursday. Over a third are in Quebec, where Public Safety Minister François Bonnardel said no rain is expected until next week and temperatures are predicted to rise.He said there have been no reports of injuries, deaths or home damage so far from the fires, but it remained unclear Thursday when more than 12,000 evacuees from various communities would be able to return. Manon Cyr, mayor of the evacuated town of Chibougamau, said she advised residents to be “Zen and patient. That’s the most important.”But, she noted, the real solution will be a good dose of rain.In neighboring Ontario, a haze hung over Toronto, Canada’s most populous city, where many school recess breaks, day care center activities and outdoor recreation programs were canceled or moved inside.U.S. President Joe Biden said Thursday that hundreds of American firefighters and support personnel have been in Canada since May, and that he’d offered Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “any additional help Canada needs to rapidly accelerate the effort to put out these fires.” The two spoke Wednesday.Wildfires aren’t the only air-quality problems that beset major population centers around the globe.In Beijing, for example, decades of sandstorms blowing in from the Mongolian plains have mixed with human-made pollution, sometimes making neighboring buildings invisible to one another. Commuters have even been spotted walking down streets wearing plastic bags over their heads to insulate against particulates.Many African countries in and near the Sahara Desert, too, regularly grapple with bad air mainly because of sandstorms. Senegal, in particular, has endured years of unsafe levels of air pollution, which is causing asthma and other respiratory diseases, climate experts say.Chemically, wildfire smoke can be more toxic than typical urban pollution, but with an asterisk: With smog, “the problem is you’re in it all the time,” says Jonathan Deason, an environmental and energy management professor George Washington University.In New York City, Health Department spokesperson Pedro Frisneda said emergency rooms were seeing a “higher than usual” number of asthma-related visits from the blanket of smoke, estimating patients were in the “low hundreds.”The city public school system — the nation’s largest — said Friday’s classes would be conducted remotely, a decision that mostly affected high schoolers because most other pupils already had a scheduled day off. Motorists even got a break Thursday and Friday from having to move their cars for street cleaning.In Washington, a big Pride Month celebration on the White House’s South Lawn was moved from Thursday to Saturday, and a Washington Nationals-Arizona Diamondbacks game was postponed. Local officials closed public parks and suspended some road work.Philadelphia ended trash collection ended early, for the sake of sanitation employees. Bridgeport, Connecticut’s largest city, opened spaces usually used as hot-weather cooling centers so that residents could escape the unhealthy air.A Chris Stapleton concert at a Syracuse amphitheater was pushed back, fireworks were canceled at Niagara Falls and racing was canceled at New York’s Belmont Park two days before the famed Belmont Stakes. It wasn’t yet clear whether the Triple Crown race itself might be affected; Gov. Kathy Hochul said that would depend on the air quality at the track Saturday.And in central Pennsylvania, Country Meadows Retirement Communities temporarily closed walking areas and outdoor courtyards designated for residents in secured memory support units — “they may or may not recognize when they experience respiratory distress,” explained company spokesperson Kelly Kuntz. All 2,300 residents of its 10 facilities were asked to cancel outdoor trips and strenuous outdoor activities.“Bocce is huge,” Kuntz said. “No bocce ball until this is done.”___Gillies reported from Toronto.

One person was killed in Escambia County, Florida, when a severe storm that also produced a tornado toppled a tree onto a home, The Associated Press reported, citing local news.The fifth victim was killed by a falling tree this morning in Mississippi.(5:39 p.m. ET) Tornado Reported In Virginia-A tornado was reported a short time ago in the Newport News area of Virginia. There are no immediate reports of damage.It was one of several reports of severe weather tracked today from states including Arkansas, Florida and New Jersey. Here are some of the more notable:-A wind gust of 64 mph at Port Canaveral, Florida, on the coast about 50 miles east of Orlando.-Hail the size of baseballs in Sheridan, Arkansas, about 35 miles south of Little Rock.- A wind gust of 83 mph in Carrollton, Virginia, in the same area where the tornado was reported.(4:26 p.m. ET) When Will This Weather End? From weather.com digital meteorologist Jonathan Belles: The severe-weather plagued regions from the Southern Plains to the Southeast may catch a break by early to mid-next week.The jet stream should lift back northward, which should divert the storms into a more climatological position across the central and possibly northern High Plains. Rainy weather may take shape across the Southeast next week as a low pressure system sinks into the area, but severe weather should remain at bay as this occurs.(3:53 p.m. ET) Two Tornadoes Confirmed In Ohio.The National Weather Service has issued preliminary ratings for two tornadoes last night in northern Ohio. One, an EF-2, touched down north of Toledo and tracked into the community of Point Place. Estimated peak wind gusts are 130 mph. The second, an EF-0, touched down about 50 miles southwest of Cleveland with peak winds estimated at 85 mph.Tornadoes are rated on the Enhanced Fujita Tornado Intensity Scale, which estimates wind speeds based on the type and severity of damage.(2:11 p.m. ET) Homes Struck By Lightning In Florida PanhandleAt least five homes were struck by lightning last night in Santa Rosa County, Florida.County spokesperson Sarah Whitfield told weather.com in an email that no one was injured."We ask our residents to remain weather-aware through the weekend as we could have additional rounds of severe weather," Whitfield said.(1:14 p.m. ET) 'It Just Started Howling' Pensacola Beach resident Ed Boyington described what it was like as a storm hit his condo around 9 p.m. last night.“It just started howling," Boyington told the Pensacola News Journal.“You could hear stuff just getting torn up.

The Associated Press reported that Canton Police Chief Otha Brown told WLBT-TV the man was entering his car when a tree fell on his carport.(12:42 p.m. ET) Winds Reach Nearly 100 MPH.A wind gust of 96 mph was reported this morning in Escambia County, Alabama, just across the state line from the Florida Panhandle county with the same name. The reading was reported by a weather station on Perdido River Farms, where some buildings were damaged.Other notable wind gusts today, according to NOAA's Storm Prediction Center.-75 mph on St. George Island Bridge in Florida.-63 mph at Magnolia Beach in Bay County, Florida.-59 mph at Tyndall AFB, also in Bay County.(11:50 a.m. ET) Some Areas With Power Outages Could See Triple Digit Temps Today-From weather.com senior meteorologist Jonathan Erdman: There are heat advisories in effect for parts of northeast Texas through this evening, where heat indices could be as hot as 110 degrees today.While NWS is not necessarily forecasting daily record highs or lows in northeast Texas, highs generally in the low to mid-90s can be expected there, each afternoon well into next week.And with morning lows only settling into the low to mid-70s, that could make evenings and overnights uncomfortable for those without power or access to air conditioning.(10:18 a.m. ET) Power Outages Near 600,000-There are more than 577,000 power outages stretching from Texas into Florida, according to PowerOutage.us. Of those, about 230,000 are in Texas. About 180,000 are in Louisiana and more than 157,000 in Mississippi.Since each outage can represent multiple people or housing units on a single account, the number of individuals affected is much higher.(10:04 a.m. ET) Severe Weather Parade To Continue Through The Weekend-From weather.com. meteorologists: Additional rounds of severe thunderstorms are expected each day through Father's Day. This recent daily siege of severe weather began in the South last Saturday, and shows little sign of letting up.At least scattered severe thunderstorms are expected once again today from the Central Plains to Florida. Large hail, strong thunderstorm wind gusts and isolated tornadoes are possible.One or more clusters of severe thunderstorms may form in the evening and track southeastward overnight in the South. Heavy, potentially flooding rainfall, is also a concern in parts of the South and Central Plains.Strong thunderstorm winds and/or large hail are also possible in parts of the mid-Atlantic, mainly during the afternoon.Kelly Judice, interim CEO of Ochiltree General Hospital in Perryton, told The Associated Press that between 50 and 100 people sought medical care after the storm. About 10 were critical.Injuries ranged from minor to major including “head injuries to collapsed lungs, lacerations, broken bones,” Judice said.(7:06 a.m ET) 100-Plus Evacuated From Flooding In Pensacola Area-More than 100 people were evacuated from an apartment complex southwest of Pensacola, Florida, according to WALA-TV. The apartment complex is located next to a creek and the water rose to the first floor windows.More than 17 inches of rain have fallen across the Pensacola area.(6:08 a.m. ET) Perryton Tornado Deadliest In County Since 1950-The deadly tornado that ripped through Perryton, Texas, could be in rarified air for Ochiltree County, according to weather.com senior meteorologist Jon Erdman.Only two other tornadoes since 1950 in the county had been deadly. An F1 on June 11, 1987, killed one person and an F2 on May 4, 1950, also killed one person.The tornado hasn't been surveyed yet, but were it to be rated EF3 or higher it would join only four other F/EF3-plus tornadoes on record in the county dating to 1950. The last one was over 33 years ago.Earlier updates:Deadly Tornado Tears Through Perryton, Texas-At least three people are dead and two more are missing after a tornado spawned in the late afternoon and ripped through the heart of town. Drone video from the scene showed many buildings damaged or destroyed. Some of them caught fire.Dozens of people were also injured.One of the people killed was inside a mobile home that took a "direct hit," the Perryton Fire Chief told the Associated Press. Mobile homes are particularly unsafe during a tornado. The National Weather Service says you are 15-20% more likely to die in a manufactured home than in a permanent home during severe weather.The fire station itself was also hit by the tornado.
