For those hoping autumn brings with it relief from the summer heat, some long-range forecasters say not so fast.
Following the close of summer, millions of Americans can expect a delayed transition to cooler temperatures with the greatest impacts expected in the Great Lakes region, the Midwest, and the Rockies.
With this extended heat also comes an increased risk of wildfires and severe weather. That is of course bad news for areas like Oregon where wildfires are still burning across the state.
In a recent meeting between state agencies wildfire experts said that they expect the fire season to intensify during August and September.
Firefighters from different agencies are already working at full capacity to contain current burns. Some raised concerns over fatigue and stretched resources.
Wildfire outbreaks in the entire state have totaled more than a million acres of land burned so far.
