California wildfire situation is mixed this season

California's wildfire season is well underway. How does it compare to years past? The answer is mixed. That's the message behind an hour-long news conference Gov. Gavin Newsom and state emergency officials gave on Wednesday.

Foggy and warm

Today will start off foggy but then warm up. Triple digits expected for the inland areas.

Heating up again

Dense fog will resurface near the coast and bay Wednesday morning. Mostly sunny skies and warmer temperatures will highlight the afternoon forecast. Temperatures will approach 103 degrees in some of the inland neighborhoods. Thursday will be the hottest day of the week.

Two arrested in connection to separate California wildfires

Today, the number of California acres burned so far by this date already exceeds the 5-year average of acres burned by more than quadruple.  We would also surpass the 5 year average for the actual number of wildfires as well.     

Will Hurricane Beryl cause gas prices to rise?

The Port of Corpus Christi was back open by Tuesday morning, but the Houston Ship Channel, a major point for the import and export of crude oil and refined products, remains closed.

Mild, cooler

Today will be mild and cooler. Highs may reach 96 inland.
