Heat continues through the weekend, with high fire danger in western Colorado
The heat continues for Colorado this weekend, and so does the mostly dry weather. As a result, the fire danger is incredibly high for the western half of the state, which is why a Red Flag Warning is in effect until 8 p.m. While a large portion of the state will be dry Saturday, there is a chance a few of us could see an isolated afternoon storm. The best chance for storms will be in the mountains and on the eastern plains. Some of the storms could turn severe in the far northeast corner. It is going to feel like summertime in Colorado with temperatures in the 90s both Saturday and Sunday. The current record for Sunday is 98 degrees, and there is a chance to tie it. The heat sticks around until Wednesday, when the ridge of high pressure that's kept Colorado hot breaks down some. Not only will temperatures drop into the 80s, we will also see rain showers with the return of monsoonal moisture. This will be a welcome sight after a couple of dry and hot days.

Greece asks for EU help in battling wildfires
Greece on Saturday requested EU help to battle wildfires that have sprung up in different regions as a lengthy heatwave sent temperatures soaring above 45C and gusts fuelled flames. Winds were fanning fearsome blazes near Athens and other parts, including the Peloponnese peninsula that juts out west from the capital, and on the islands of Crete, Euboea and Kythera, fire brigade spokesman Vathrakogiannis said. "The hard part is ahead of us," he warned in a briefing to reporters. Several regions were under the highest level of alert -- Red Category 5 -- meaning an extreme risk of wildfires, due to the hot and dry conditions. In various regions, "in the last 24 hours alone, 52 fires erupted, of which 44 were immediately dealt with at the initial stage," the brigade spokesman said. Vathrakogiannis said Greece had requested European assistance through the RescEU mechanism, asking for six firefighting aircraft to bolster efforts to contain the fires. Firefighting units from the Czech Republic were already operating as part of European assistance, local media reports said. According to firefighters, one of the most difficult fronts was just 30 kilometres (20 miles) north of Athens, where authorities had ordered the evacuation of a village, Drosopigi. Several houses in Drosopigi were ablaze, with stiff winds were pushing flames through properties. One fire front had reached another village farther north, Kryoneri, where houses were also burning, a municipal adviser, Giannis Moniakis, told the Athens-Macedonian News Agency. He warned the situation was difficult and unpredictable, with fiery bursts occurring from strong wind gusts. Police said they had evacuated at least 27 people from their houses. One wildfire on the island of Kythera trapped dozens of people on a beach who had to be rescued by a coastguard vessel and three private boats. - 'Out of control' - The heatwave, which started in Greece on July 21, was expected to last until Monday, the country's weather service said. The National Observatory in Athens said the warmest temperature recorded Friday was 45.8C in the Peloponnese region of Messinia. On Saturday, the temperature reached 45.2C in Amfilohia, in western Greece. On the island of Euboea, also called Evia, northeast of Athens, two fire trucks were destroyed and two firemen taken to hospital with light injuries. "The situation is out of control. The destruction is immeasurable," a district mayor in the town of Chalcis on the island, Giorgos Psathas, told the Athens-Macedonian News Agency. He said several pig farms on the town's outskirts "have already been engulfed by the flames". In the Peloponnese's Messinia region, evacuations were also under way, as the fire front is deemed really dangerous. kan/rmb-jj

Air quality alert in New York City area due to smoke from Canada wildfires
An air quality alert was issued by the New York State Department of Health on Saturday due to smoke from wildfires in Canada. The air quality health advisory covers New York City and the surrounding metropolitan area, including Long Island, as well as the Lower Hudson Valley, Upper Hudson Valley and the Adirondacks. The advisory went into effect at noon and expires at midnight. Today is another hot day in the Tri-State Area and more storms could hit the region Sunday. New York says the air quality forecast is "unhealthy for sensitive groups" Saturday. According to the National Weather Service, the air quality index (AQI) is predicted to be greater than 100, and could even reach up to 135 in NYC, which indicates a greater health concern due to fine particles in the air. Put plainly, the AQI helps measure the severity of air pollution and categorizes the health risks. The higher the number, the greater the risk. "People who may be especially sensitive to the effects of elevated levels of pollutants include the very young, and those with preexisting respiratory problems such as asthma or heart disease. Those with symptoms should consider consulting their personal physician," the NWS alert says. New York health officials recommend limiting strenuous outdoor activities to reduce the risk of adverse health effects when there are elevated levels of pollution, according to the NWS.
