Temperatures for Father's Day Sunday should be a few degrees warmer than Saturday, with highs around the metro in the mid-90s. There is a very small chance of an afternoon shower or storm, mainly after 3 pm. Most of us will remain dry and if we do see some rain in the metro, it will be very short-lived.
It could get a little breezy tonight as lows drop down into the upper 50s and lower 60s. Winds will be out of the south and east anywhere from 10-20 mph with gusts as high 25 mph. This will all be done under mostly clear skies.
Monday will again see high temperatures in the lower to middle 90s across the region. Winds, however, will be a little breezy with gusts up to 25 miles per hour from the northeast. Those winds may help keep temperatures in check.
A cold front arrives Tuesday and will send temperatures down into the lower 80s. It will also bring a chance for spotty showers and thunderstorms — the best opportunity for rain over the next week.
Wednesday will remain in the 80s as well. Highs in the 90s return Thursday and continue through next weekend, which may see temperatures approach the upper 90s.

Beijing lifts rain alert after evacuating over 80,000
Beijing lifted a severe weather alert on Tuesday but warned residents to stay vigilant against natural disasters after authorities evacuated more than 82,000 people over fears of more deadly floods in the Chinese capital. The municipal weather office had imposed a red rainstorm warning -- the highest in a four-tier system -- on Monday, forecasting heavy downpours until Tuesday morning. The office lifted the alert early Tuesday morning, saying in a social media statement the weather system had weakened as it drifted eastwards. But it continued to warn of isolated downpours across outlying parts of the city, adding that people "must not let up after strong rains have passed" as landslides or other disasters may follow. Authorities evacuated over 82,000 people at risk from heavy rainfall as of Monday evening, state news agency Xinhua said, citing the city's flood control headquarters. Officials warned of flooding risks in the northeastern suburb of Miyun -- the hardest hit by the recent deluge -- as well as southwestern Fangshan, western Mentougou and northern Huairou. Last week, floods in Beijing's northern suburbs killed at least 44 people and left nine missing, according to official figures. Some 31 fatalities occurred at an elderly care centre in Miyun -- prompting a local official to admit "gaps" in disaster readiness. "Our knowledge of extreme weather was lacking. This tragic lesson has warned us that putting the people first, putting human life first, is more than a slogan," Yu Weiguo, Miyun's ruling Communist Party boss, said at the time. Residents of flood-hit areas told AFP journalists that they had been surprised at the speed with which the rushing water had inundated homes and devastated villages. - Restoring order - At a meeting on Monday, the municipal government stressed the need to "restore the normal order of life and production in post-disaster areas as quickly as possible". Urgent tasks included road repairs, electricity and water resumption and the refurbishment of schools, hospitals and elderly care homes, officials said, according to a statement on a city social media account. China's public security ministry has also warned people to be on guard against "rumours", including exaggerating the extent of natural disasters to create panic, state broadcaster CCTV reported on Tuesday. China has been lashed by heavy rains in recent weeks, with heavy flooding in the north followed by intense precipiation along the southern coast. Parts of Hong Kong were brought to a standstill on Tuesday by flooding caused by heavy rains, after the highest-tier rainstorm warning was issued for the fourth time in eight days. Natural disasters are common across China, particularly in the summer, when some regions experience heavy rain while others bake in searing heat. China is the world's biggest emitter of the greenhouse gases that drive climate change and contribute to making extreme weather more frequent and intense. But it is also a global renewable energy powerhouse that aims to make its massive economy carbon-neutral by 2060. mjw/oho/tym

Cooler summer causes Sacramento trees to show early fall colors
It is the first week of August, and some people in Sacramento are already starting to notice the trees changing colors. There have been only four days in triple digits so far this year, and it is not just the people who have felt it, but the trees. "I don't want to say it's fall yet because in my mind it's summer all year-round, but I think fall is coming," said Nick Wootten, who owns Birdies Social Club in West Sacramento. His new business is surrounded by trees that are already making the transition. Michael Ganchenko, owner of Kingdom Tree Services, said the trees do not usually change color this early in the year, but it is a normal process. "It's a process of chemical change that occurs through photosynthesis," said Ganchenko. The cooler temperatures mean less chlorophyll production, changing the green pigmented leaves we are used to seeing during the heat of summer into yellow, red and orange. "I think the mild weather confuses all the beautiful trees we have," said Laura Dirrim, who is a volunteer forester with the tree foundation. Dirim noticed the trees with less direct sunlight in her Sacramento neighborhood are changing color. "Hey, if the trees are going to turn color sooner and we get this natural artistic beauty sooner in the year, I'll take it," Wootten said. Ganchenko said the leaves changing color does not impact the tree's health, and when the leaves fall will depend on the weather to come.

Elk Fire in western Colorado grows to 4,000 acres, evacuations ordered
