Hiker airlifted from San Diego County trail for heat exhaustion
The San Diego Fire-Rescue Department received distress calls around 2:40 p.m. and rescue crews were able to locate one person who was suffering from heat exhaustion while hiking on a Los Peñasquitos Canyon trail with three friends.
Rescue crews hoisted the person into a helicopter to remove them from the trail, then took them by ambulance to the hospital for evaluation. Authorities did not release any details on their condition as of Sunday evening.
Three local parks to close due to heat this month
Just this past week, the County of San Diego closed three parks for the month of August as the summer temperatures rise — El Capitan Preserve near Lakeside, Hellhole Canyon Preserve in Valley Center and Mt. Gower Preserve in Ramona.
In May, the county also closed two other parks located in or near Anza Borrego desert, Agua Caliente Regional Park and Vallecito County Park.
The parks will reopen Labor Day weekend.

Magnitude 2.7 earthquake recorded in NYC, northern NJ area
A magnitude 2.7 earthquake rattled parts of New York and New Jersey around midday on Aug. 5, according to data from the U.S. Geological Survey. The tremor struck just over a mile southwest of Hillsdale, New Jersey, at about 12:11 p.m. ET, and had a depth of about seven miles, according to USGS. Hillsdale is about 20 miles northwest of Manhattan. Weak shaking was felt throughout parts of northern New Jersey, including Newark, Paterson and Englewood, according to impact reports compiled by USGS. The quake was felt as far west as Queens and northwards up to Duchess County, according to the USGS reports, which are not scientifically verified. Some areas reported slightly stronger shaking. The Bergen County Office of Emergency Management said in a social media post that it is monitoring USGS reports but there have been no immediate reports of damage. NYC Emergency Management confirmed in a post on X that tremors were felt in the city. No major impacts have been reported, but the agency said it is monitoring the situation. People in the area should prepare for possible aftershocks, which could follow minutes, hours or even days after the initial quake, the agency said. Tuesday's earthquake comes days after another magnitude 3.0 temblor hit New Jersey on Aug. 2 and was felt as far as New York. This is a developing story.

Clouds remain thick across Maryland into Wednesday
After a stretch of pleasant weather, changes are on the way for Maryland. Starting Wednesday night, low-level moisture will begin moving north into the state as winds shift off the water and high pressure begins to break down. For most of Maryland, any rain through Thursday is expected to be light and scattered—mainly confined to far southern parts of the state. Even there, mid-level dry air should keep rainfall spotty at best. The setup just isn't favorable for anything widespread, and the overall trend has been for drier conditions to hold on a bit longer than originally expected. As we head into Friday and Saturday, things stay pretty quiet. A broad area of high pressure sitting to our northeast will continue to influence the region, while a weak area of low pressure lingers off the Carolina coast. Forecast models show some potential for added moisture to sneak northward into Maryland this weekend, but as of now, it looks like most of the rain—if any—would stay in southern and western areas of the state. Temperatures will stay slightly below average through Saturday, keeping things comfortable for early August. By Sunday and Monday, we'll start to feel the difference. A change in the upper-level pattern will allow a ridge of high pressure to build along the East Coast, bringing warmer and more humid air back into Maryland. With that comes the chance for a few showers or storms, though how widespread they become will depend on how much coastal moisture manages to push inland. Either way, the cooler, drier stretch won't last much longer. Marylanders should be ready for a return to summer heat and stickiness by the end of the weekend.
