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.

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.

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. Associated Press

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
