An evacuation warning has been lifted as firefighters make progress in containing a wildfire located approximately 60 miles east of San Francisco. The Corral Fire, which has burned over 14,000 acres, is now 85% contained. Fortunately, only two firefighters sustained injuries, but they are expected to recover.
Turning to the weather forecast, meteorologists are reporting steamy conditions across various parts of the country. The West Coast is experiencing particularly high temperatures, with heat warnings, advisories, and excessive heat watches in effect. Cities like Phoenix are expected to reach temperatures as high as 112 degrees, while Las Vegas is forecasted to hit 109-111 degrees over the next few days.
It's worth noting that the intense heatwave hitting the region is arriving about a month earlier than usual. Typically, the first 110-degree day in Las Vegas occurs on July 1st, making this heatwave particularly early and intense.
Across the country, the weather pattern is shaping up to be warm and stormy in the central regions. Residents are advised to stay hydrated, seek shade, and take necessary precautions to stay safe during this period of extreme heat.
